Mexico Lacks Water to Frack for Shale Gas
2013-04-18 13:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inter Press Service: Mexico plans to expand shale gas exploration this year, but it could run into a shortage of water, which is essential to hydraulic fracturing or fracking, the method used to capture natural gas from shale rocks. "In Mexico there isn't enough water. Where are they going to get it to extract shale gas?" Professor Miriam Grunstein at the Centre for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) remarked in an interview with IPS. She is opposed to the involvement of PEMEX, Mexico's state-run oil company,...
The Rebirth of PCs, or Telling IT to Frack Off Again
2013-04-15 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
I've been watching the horrid numbers surrounding the PC market with double digit declines and folks increasingly talking about the "death of the PC," but I don't think the PC is dying any more than computing was dying when the PC was created.

Associated Press: Each day, 300 million gallons of polluted mine water enters Pennsylvania streams and rivers, turning many of them into dead zones unable to support aquatic life. At the same time, drilling companies use up to 5 million gallons of fresh water for every natural-gas well they frack. State environmental officials and coal region lawmakers are hoping that the state's newest extractive industry can help clean up a giant mess left by the last one. They are encouraging drillers to use tainted coal mine...

2013-03-10 21:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Over the past few weeks, Colorado`s Governor John Hickenlooper has gotten a lot of negative attention. First, for telling a U.S. Senate committee that he drank Halliburton`s frack fluid and second, for threatening to sue the City of Fort Collins for its ban on fracking. But Hickenlooper isn`t the only government official trying to frack Colorado. Helen Hankins, who directs the Colorado office of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has also been in the very-uncomfortable glare of public...
