Intelligencer: As natural gas industry leaders tout use of their fuel as a means to curb carbon dioxide pollution, operators and processors continue flaring off some of their products throughout the Marcellus and Utica shale region.

Yet, it seems likely flaring in some form will continue at well pads, compressor stations, processing plants and refineries throughout the Upper Ohio...

Grist: California`s Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday is a make-or-break moment for Sen. Bernie Sanders, who needs a big win in the state to take anything resembling momentum to the Democratic convention in July. His rival, Hillary Clinton, has a narrow edge, leading him by about two points in the RealClearPolitics polling average as of Monday morning.
