United Kingdom: Why the 'dash for gas' has got off to a false start
2013-08-04 01:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: For all the talk of a dash for gas, the government-backed race for a new generation of power stations has had few willing participants thus far. So the suggestion last week by the chief executive of Drax, the UK's biggest coal-fired power station, that she might invest in new gas plants was a surprise. Nonetheless, her words were hedged with a caution shared by the rest of the energy industry. "We could start to look at it. But it would depend very much on the details of the government's energy market...

Fracking the nation: the dash for gas beneath rural Britain

Guardian: Compton Martin is not the most obvious place to have a conversation about drilling for gas, and what's already happening in US states such as Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio. It sits on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills, in the famously picturesque Chew Valley. It may say something about the place that it still has a functioning village water pump. At a bus stop, I meet two local mums: Chloe Mann, 35, and Sarah Kirwan, 39. "It's quiet little village," says Mann, a mother of two who works part-time...
