Earthquakes, Water Pollution and Increased Greenhouse Gas Emissions? Fracki
2011-12-21 20:45:00 The last decade has seen a sustained campaign by the hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking") industry against its critics, as the fracking industry in the U.S. alone was worth an estimated $76 billion in 2010 and is projected to grow to $231 billion in 2036 if only those pesky environmentalists can be sidelined. According to Washington’s energy Information Administration, production of shale gas in the United States in 2010 totalled 4.87 trillion cubic feet (tcf) compared with 0.39 tcf only a decade earlier. The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has already transformed North America’s natural gas market in less than half a decade. In 2000 shale gas was 1 percent of America’s gas supplies; today it is 25 percent. . . . → Read More: Earthquakes, Water Pollution and Increased Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

Duoyuan (DGW): Water pollution in China

Some 278 cities in China don’t have any wastewater treatment facilities whatsoever and dump raw sewage directly into their local ...

Air Pollution Kills 300-700,000 Per Year
2008-11-18 08:43:00 In the world, that is. Pretty amazing figure, but it's apparently solid, and if anything, it is conservative. Not only that, but 50 million kids cough chronically due to smog too. It's from a book called The Natural Wealth Of Nations: Harnessing The Market For The Environment by David Roodman.Roodman's book is not bad, but he does advocate for "a market for the right to pollute." The problem is that if we accept his figures that air pollution kills 500,000 people a year, then a market for the right to pollute boils down to a buying and selling disease and murder. How can that possibly be justified?A steady theme in this book is one of environmental taxes. If we taxed pollution, we could cut back on taxes on individuals and business by up to 15% and still be revenue neutral.Furthermore, experiments with pollution taxation in Europe have shown that when the taxes are high enough (for instance, taxing companies for the discharge they put into waterways) the result is typically a rap...
