Idea for gas terminal off East Coast rankles fracking foes
2015-01-11 18:19:02| Energy - Topix.net
All that would peek above the ocean waves off New York and New Jersey would be two small buoys tethered to underwater pipes. But they're already casting a large shadow, with potential effects on the economy of the New York metropolitan area, the marine environment, and even America's future as a net importer or exporter of energy.
NY fracking ban seen as having little impact on supply
2015-01-11 04:45:19| Energy - Topix.net
New York's recent decision to ban fracking is hardly seen as a big loss for the nation's production of natural gas. That's because scientists say New York's available reserves of natural gas in the sprawling Marcellus Shale are minuscule compared to what can be extracted in other states such as Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Grist: We dont know nearly enough about the fracking thats already going on in the U.S. - thats the point of two lawsuits filed this past week by environmental advocates against the federal government.

In the second, a coalition of nine groups is suing the...

Gannett: New York had been considering a "phased rollout" of large-scale hydraulic fracturing in the months prior to deciding to ban it, with the proposal received well by public-health experts the state had asked for advice. The revelation was included in a series of letters from three experts from top universities, who had been contracted by the state to review its proposals for shale-gas drilling and recommend ways to improve them. The letters, written in late 2012 and early 2013, were first disclosed...

Texas city in fracking area rocked by 11 earthquakes in 24 hours

Grist: On the heels of a report linking 77 earthquakes in Ohio to fracking, a Texas city in an area rife with drilling operations was hit with a wave of 11 earthquakes in 24 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. The most intense registered 3.6 on the Richter scale, well over the level at which people would feel it -- the local 911 service received more than 300 calls from residents trying to figure out what was going on. These recent quakes bring the total number to 26 since October in Irving, Texas, a suburb...
