Associated Press: A mining company plans to construct a $10 million railroad loading terminal near Tomah to ship fracking sand to new markets.

A long-awaited report from the UK's Climate Change Committee, an independent body, says that fracking will not bust the nation's carbon budget - but only if three strict conditions are met. Those conditions are going to be very difficult to meet in practice, which means the UK government cannot allow fracking on a large scale if the country is to meet its emissions targets. Under the 2008 Climate Act, the UK has to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions...
