EcoWatch: A judge ruled today in favor of journalists seeking access to information about a fracking pollution court case. Judge Debbie ODell-Seneca reversed an order by a Washington County court sealing the record in a case in which a Pennsylvania family sued several gas companies over property damage and health impacts related to air and water pollution from nearby natural gas operations. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Observer-Reporter had intervened in the case to unseal the records, while...

EcoWatch: Many know fracking`s iconic image: a faucet spewing flaming water, but fewer realize that it`s largely methane, the main constituent of natural gas, burning. Since 90 percent of natural gas is methane, methane levels directly reflect the amount of natural gas in an area. After gas related activities come to a region, homeowners frequently discover methane (and other materials) in their water and/or air. However, they have little recourse because gas and gas pipeline companies persistently deny...

Pennsylvania Judge Orders Records Opened in Fracking Case
2013-03-20 15:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A Pennsylvania judge, handing a victory to local media and health groups, ordered documents unsealed in a settlement between gas-drillers and homeowners who accused the companies of contaminating their water.

(RRC), showed theyd suffer harm to trade secrets...
