Nearly 200 “carbon bomb” projects are being planned by fossil fuel industries, which will drive the climate beyond international boundaries, resulting in catastrophic worldwide disasters. The 195 projects, defined by research published in Energy Policy as capable of producing at least a billion tonnes of carbon pollution, include 22 oilContinue Reading
A part from destroying the environment, it turns out that fracking also releases radioactive particles in the air that could poison nearby towns. New research shows that these radioactive particles can be released from underground and carried great distances by the wind. It’s troubling news, and the Harvard researchers behindContinue Reading
Fracking is a process used to remove gas and oil from shale rock. It involves pumping a highly pressurized liquid, typically water mixed with sand and chemicals, into the rock formation to open up cracks through which the gas or oil can then be extracted. The controversial practice is considered oneContinue Reading
Natural gas is not a clean form of energy. Cleaner than coal? Sure – but that’s not saying a heck of a lot. Clean like solar or wind? No way! To start, the extraction process is rife with potential problems. Much of our natural gas comes through the process of hydraulic fracturingContinue Reading
