Updated: 2012-12-28 00:50:14What's a great sequel to November's voter-approved ban on fracking in Longmont? How about a Hollywood movie about fracking starring Matt Damon? Yes, Damon is wading into the fight over fracking, with the release today of his movie "Promised Land." The movie centers on what happens when the energy industry takes an interest in mineral rights underlying a poor rural community. It opens in Denver on Friday at one movie theater -- the UA Denver Pavilions 15 on the 16th Street Mall -- as well as in…

Updated: 2012-12-19 21:41:21Industry says it’s the safest and cheapest way to move wastewater. Environmentalists counter that the possibility of a spill means it isn’t worth the riskFracking is old technology
Updated: 2012-12-19 18:35:10America’s latest oil rush was spurred by new technology that has made drilling faster, cheaper and better at unleashing oil from rock formations,… That is false. Fracking (the oil guys always called it ‘fracing’) is old technology. Many decades old. But it’s an expensive way to get oil, relatively speaking. So it hasn’t been prudent [...]Natural gas development in Bradford County, PA

Updated: 2012-12-14 08:17:34Poor blokes have been snowed. Quite. Not only has the UK green-lighted fracking, it is also using tax breaks to promote shale exploration and development. Indeed, the UK hopes to see a shale gas revolution of its own. So what are the new rules for fracking? Right now it’s still a bit vague, but overall [...]States sue EPA over fracking emissions

Updated: 2012-12-04 19:55:29American crude oil production hit nearly 6.5 million barrels per day in September, the highest volume since January 1998, the federal Energy Information Administration said Tuesday. And Colorado’s booming energy fields have helped push that number up, according to the agency. The agency credited production from shale formations, which require the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to access their oil reserves. Colorado’s Niobrara formation is believed to hold about…
