Tallahassee Democrat: Controversial bills that would create a regulatory framework for fracking in Florida passed committee hurdles on Tuesday over the objections of environmental groups and concerned citizens. Members of the House State Affairs Committee signed off on HB 1205, which would set regulations for fracking, in a 12-5 party-line vote, with Republicans supporting it. They voted 11-6 in favor of HB 1209, which would create an exemption in public-records law for proprietary chemicals used in the process. Later...

PRI: The Obama administration recently announced new rules to regulate fracking. But no one, it seems, is entirely happy with them. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the process of drilling and injecting fluids into the ground at high pressure to break up shale rock formations and release natural gas that's trapped inside. The practice has helped make the United States the worlds top producer of oil and gas, and has spurred an economic boom in places like North Dakota. But its also become a prime...
