Fort Collins Again Postpones Decision on Fracking
2013-04-24 15:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Last night the Fort Collins City Council voted unanimously to postpone their decision until their May 21 meeting about whether to terminate the moratorium on fracking. The city council passed a ban in March, but that ban allowed one drilling operation to continue fracking in North Fort Collins. However, three weeks later, the council passed an "agreement" allowing the drilling company to open up two new square miles of land for drilling and fracking. The council`s postponement comes after it received...

United Kingdom: Climate change advisers says fracking can be OK
2013-04-24 09:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: The controversial fossil fuel is forced out of the ground by blasting water into rocks, a process known as "fracking'. Environmentalists claim this hydraulic fracturing causes earthquakes and contaminates drinking water. They are also concerned that methane escapes during drilling and burning the fuel releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But despite these concerns, a new report from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), said shale gas can be part of the energy mix. The committee...

United Kingdom: Cuadrilla censured by advertising watchdog over fracking safety claims

Guardian: Cuadrilla, the only shale fracking company operating in the UK, has been slapped down by the advertising watchdog for claiming that it uses "proven, safe technologies". The censure by the Advertising Standards Authority will force a significant watering down of some of the company's claims and is a further blow to Cuadrilla, which has halted fracking at all of its UK sites following a series of setbacks. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, involves pumping water, sand and chemicals into deep wells...

Fracking 'unlikely to give UK cheap gas', report says
2013-04-22 02:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: George Osborne's plan to deliver cheap energy by fostering a fracking revolution has been dealt a severe blow after an influential cross-party group of experts said any boom in shale gas production would be "unlikely to give the UK cheap gas". A nine-month inquiry chaired by former energy minister Charles Hendry, concludes that it is far too early to estimate the volume of shale gas contained in UK rocks and harder still to know how much of that it will be commercially viable to extract. Further...

EcoWatch: I blocked the entrance to the Inergy gas storage facility because I believe that the institutions ... [that should] protect the people and the environment from harm can no longer be relied to do so ... When the government fails to act in the public interest, the public must act on its own. --Michael Dineen Id rather have bread and water now than no bread and toxic water later as a result of this flawed Inergy project. --Melissa Chipman My small, peaceful act of trespass was intended to...
