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...

United Kingdom: Q&A: How communities could reap benefits from shale gas fracking
2013-08-11 14:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: What is fracking? The term is shorthand for "hydraulic fracturing', a method of extracting oil and gas from the ground. The process involves drilling a well then pumping water, sand and chemicals down it at high pressure. This fractures the rock, helping to extract the oil and gas within it. Fracking for oil and gas trapped in "shale' rocks is a new process in Britain. But another, less intensive form of fracking -- involving fewer chemicals -- has been going on for decades to help extract...

Independent: Protesters against fracking in one of Britain's national parks were joined yesterday by residents from a village that could become the second flashpoint over the controversial energy strategy. The demonstration against fracking in Balcombe, West Sussex, was joined by residents from Fernhurst, another village in the South Downs National Park. Residents in Balcombe are concerned about plans by the energy firm Cuadrilla, whose chairman is the the former BP chief executive Lord Browne, to explore shale...
