United Kingdom: Fracking company warns over access
2014-05-31 06:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Association: A leading fracking company has warned that the industry will grind to a halt in Britain unless the Government allows it to drill under people's property without permission. Cuadrilla chief executive Francis Egan told The Times it would be impractical to negotiate access with every landowner where it wants to use the controversial pressure mining technique. David Cameron and George Osborne have hailed the potential benefits of fracking to the UK, and last week the coalition launched a consultation...

United Kingdom: This fracking zeal overshadows the perfect energy solution solar
2014-05-27 11:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The government's consultation on the rights of fracking companies to drill under your home was published the day after the local and European elections, hours after the polls closed. Perhaps that was a wise move given that public support for fracking seems to be falling. It hardly needs former Conservative energy secretary Lord Howell to warn that fracking "could prove extremely dangerous politically". The careful timing on the latest announcement shows he may not be the only one who thinks so. ...

United Kingdom: Grudgingly, UKIP has a point on saving our shale gas wealth
2014-05-26 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Energy Live: Its probably the only UKIP policy I can ever agree with. And it was presented in an otherwise mud-slinging speech by MEP Roger Helmer -- the partys energy lead who re-elected in last week`s EU elections -- at UKIPs annual conference last year. It goes something like this: if Britain plunges on with a shale gas bonanza, why dont we put the proceeds into a Norwegian-style savings pot for future generations? Actually UKIPs showstopper idea could have been borrowed from the Lib Dems they...

United Kingdom: Govt launches consultation allow freedom frack private land
2014-05-26 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The government has launched an official consultation to change and simplify the rules on access to land for energy companies, which would allow drilling below 300m from the surface and would offer compensation to communities. Under the new rules, companies will have to pay 20,000 per well to those living above the land and will have to clearly notify local people. In exchange, they would have the right of access for oil, shale gas and deep geothermal operations below 300m. Energy minister...
