GE Pushes Fracking Research With Lab in Bet on Shale Gas
2013-04-03 10:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: General Electric Co. (GE) will spend $110 million on a research lab in Oklahoma City to study ways to improve extraction of hard-to-reach oil and gas deposits, including hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. The facility will hire as many as 125 engineers and scientists in the coming months and will eventually expand its research to more conventional drilling techniques, Chief Technology Officer Mark Little said in a telephone interview. Oil and gas is GEs fastest-growing segment,...
Pew survey: Americans have mixed feelings about fracking

National Geographic: New York State's review of high-volume hydraulic fracturing has taken more than four years-and it's not over yet. Right now, all eyes are on the state's health commissioner, Nirav Shah, who has said that he will tell Governor Andrew Cuomo within weeks whether the Department of Environmental Conservation's plan for "fracking" would be sufficient to protect human health. Then it's up to the governor to make a final decision on whether to permit the technique, which involves pumping large volumes...

U.S. fracking helped kill off German solar firms: Bosch
2013-04-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Bosch, one of the world's largest auto parts suppliers, blames the U.S. fracking boom in shale gas for hurting demand for energy-efficient green technologies, its chairman told a German newspaper. The Stuttgart-based company recently decided to discontinue its photovoltaic solar energy activities at the cost of roughly 3,000 jobs - due largely, but not entirely, to a glut in capacity built up in China. "Photovoltaic is going through a unique transition. But you cannot entirely dismiss that...
