Shale Oil & Gas: Potential For Earthquakes Could Cause Sector To Lose Footing
2014-05-06 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Shale oil and shale gas development is helping give new life to parts of the country. But it could also be helping to do something more nefarious contribute to smaller earthquakes by discharging millions of tons of wastewater that had been used to drill. Thats according to research recently presented at the Seismological Society of America annual meeting by the U.S. Geological Survey. It says that water that is leftover after fracking must get flushed back down. That is adding stress to existing...

Softpedia: Natural gas burning as it seeps through the ground to the surface For several years, the public opinion has been battered with the idea that natural gas is much cleaner to exploit than coal, because it contains less carbon. A new study by researchers at the Cornell University and the Purdue University demonstrates that significant levels of the dangerous greenhouse gas methane can be found above shale gas wells. Carbon dioxide is currently the most pervasive greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere,...

Shale Gas Boom Leaves Wind Companies Seeking More Subsidy
2014-04-07 21:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Wind power in the U.S. is on a respirator. The $14 billion industry, the worlds second-largest buyer of wind turbines, is reeling from a double blow -- cheap natural gas unleashed by the hydraulic fracturing revolution and the death last year of federal subsidies that made wind the most competitive of all renewable energy sources in the U.S. Without restoration of subsidies, worth $23 per megawatt hour to turbine owners, the industry may not recover, and the U.S. may lose ground in its race...
