EcoWatch: Several years ago, Utah public health officials realized they had a big problem on their hands--one with national implications as other states were racing to increase oil and gas drilling. Smog levels in the states rural Uintah basin were rivaling those found in Los Angeles or Houston on their worst days. The culprit, an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report concluded earlier this year: oil and gas operations. The industry was responsible for roughly 99 percent of the volatile organic...

Register-Guard: The average temperature on Earth could increase by 3.6 degrees by the middle of this century, according to data from climate change researchers in nearly 20 countries. And that increase is enough to potentially affect the main source of Eugene-Springfield's drinking water, according to a study by Oregon State University scientists. The McKenzie River is the major source of drinking water in the Eugene-Springfeld area. The single-digit increase in temperatures predicted worldwide means the snowpacks...

FuelFix: A new U.S. Energy Department report highlights the impact of climate change, including prolonged periods of high temperatures and water shortages, on the energy sector. The report issued this month says thermoelectric power plants are at risk from decreasing water availability and increasing air and water temperatures, which reduce the efficiency of cooling. It also says energy infrastructure along the coast is at risk from rising sea levels, increasing intensity of storms, and higher storm...
