United Kingdom: David Cameron's 'cycling revolution' is barely off the starting blocks
2013-08-12 12:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Yes, 77m, the largest ever investment in cycling, is a welcome boost for England's cyclists. So too and this is almost the more significant factor is David Cameron's decision to front the announcement himself, rather than, as usual, leave it to his harried and sometimes isolated cycling minister, Norman Baker. And in some places, notably Manchester, West Yorkshire and Birmingham, which get the bulk of the money, life will certainly improve for some cyclists on some routes. All well and good....

United Kingdom: Fracking should get public support, says David Cameron
2013-08-12 11:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The whole of the country must "get behind fracking", which ought to get "real public support" once its benefits are explained, David Cameron has said. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said he wanted all of the UK to benefit from shale gas drilling - "north or south". The prime minister moved to allay concerns about the technique, insisting it was safe if properly regulated. Environmentalists fear it can cause small earth tremors, water contamination and environmental damage. Fracking...

BusinessGreen: Prime Minister David Cameron has today issued his clearest call to date for communities to support a nationwide boom in fracking activity, arguing that it will deliver lower energy bills and create jobs without damaging the environment. In an article for the Telegraph that is bound to anger the growing ranks of those opposed to fracking, Cameron said he was determined to win the debate over whether or not the UK should exploit its shale gas resources. "If we don't back this technology, we will...
United Kingdom: The top five reasons why drilling for shale gas is fracking stupid

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...
