United Kingdom: The top five reasons why drilling for shale gas is fracking stupid
2013-08-12 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Balcombe. Who would have thought that this quiet Sussex village would become the ground zero in the critical debate about Britain's future energy strategy? In this day and age, when some grumble that citizen action is largely confined to voting on Britain's Got Talent, I've found it inspiring to see activists travelling to Balcombe from across the country, being joined by and winning the overwhelming support of traditionally conservative local residents. But I've also been frustrated by the way...

United Kingdom: We cannot afford to miss out on shale gas
2013-08-11 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Fracking has become a national debate in Britain -- and it's one that I'm determined to win. If we don't back this technology, we will miss a massive opportunity to help families with their bills and make our country more competitive. Without it, we could lose ground in the tough global race. As with any advance in technology, fracking -- drilling for so-called "unconventional' gas -- has rightly drawn scrutiny. But a lot of myths have also sprung up. So today I want to set out why I support it...

United Kingdom: Fracking: a botch on the landscape
2013-08-11 18:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: In the golden rule usually attributed to spin doctor Alastair Campbell, there is some dispute over the exact number of days a story has to run for before its subject is doomed. A week, say some; 10 days or a fortnight say others. What is beyond doubt is that the fracking firm Cuadrilla's attempts to drill a hole in the Sussex countryside, which began on 25 July, has ploughed through even the longest of time limits. As a result the UK's embryonic shale gas industry is in danger of being stillborn....

United Kingdom: You must accept fracking for the good of the country, David Cameron tells southerners
2013-08-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: David Cameron is to insist that people living in the south of England must accept fracking, as he sets out his argument for the controversial method of extracting gas in the strongest terms yet. The Prime Minister will use an article in The Daily Telegraph to make clear that people in the South as well as the North of England will have to allow fracking, insisting "we are all in this together' in the battle to find sources of cheap energy for Britain. Mr Cameron set out the economic benefits...

United Kingdom: Fracking may not trigger 100,000 benefits for Balcombe
2013-08-11 14:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Fracking by Cuadrilla in Balcombe may not automatically trigger the 100,000 payment that has been promised to residents near most new fracking sites, the Telegraph has learned. Energy companies including Cuadrilla have signed up to a benefits charter that could be worth 10m over 25 years to communities near fracking sites for shale gas or oil. They have pledged 100,000 up-front and then a 1pc share of the revenues if fracking succeeds. The West Sussex village of Balcombe has become the focal...
