Associated Press: Artists Against Fracking said Monday neither the group nor Yoko Ono or Sean Lennon have been told to register as lobbyists in their campaign against gas drilling in New York, but will if necessary to continue their work. A good-government advocate and two lobbying experts said the state should review whether Artists Against Fracking and its supporter-celebrities should be registered as lobbyists. The group and nearly 200 entertainers connected with it aren't currently registered lobbyists, a search...

University of Tennessees Fracking Plan Stirs Protests
2013-03-16 01:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The University of Tennessee faced protests here on Friday over its proposal to let a private company drill for natural gas across a forest controlled by the university. Environmentalists say opening the Cumberland Forest in eastern Tennessee to hydraulic fracturing, a process known as "fracking,' could harm wildlife and scenery on the 8,000-acre tract of state-owned land. But the university says it would create a rare, controlled environment in which experts could study the environmental impact...

Fracking: the monster we greens must embrace

Guardian: Most environmentalists are in no doubt. The new technology of fracking to extract shale gas from the rocks beneath our homes is both a nasty neighbour and a sure recipe for climate Armageddon. Not only that, fracking was pioneered in the US, the gas-guzzling land of climate sceptics. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, uses high-pressure water to shatter shale rocks and release natural gas lurking within. The gas is then piped to the surface. Shale rocks are widespread. But fracking requires lots...

United Kingdom: Cuadrilla delays fracking plans until 2014

BusinessGreen: Cuadrilla Resources' controversial plans to extract potentially huge reserves of shale gas from underneath Lancashire have been pushed back by at least year, after the company withdrew its original planning application over environmental concerns. Cuadrilla had initially hoped to restart test drilling for shale gas reserves this year, after fracking was deemed safe by the government late last year. A temporary ban had been imposed in 2011 following two small earthquakes near Blackpool that were...

Fracking: Whats That Smell?
2013-03-12 14:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: You know what natural gas smells like. Or do you? Natural gas is actually odorless. That rotten-egg smell is added for safety reasons. Otherwise, you might not notice a potentially deadly gas leak. If only we could add a similar smell to the natural gas industry. Too many people--especially politicians--aren`t paying attention to the dangers of the current "boom" in natural gas development. Here are three big reasons why we should stop new gas drilling before it starts and replace fossil fuels...
