(Natural News) Man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma are strongly linked to fracking methods such as the injection depth of wastewater, according to a major study published in Science. The study aimed to provide targeted evidence in proving that there has been a substantial decrease in induced seismicity in the Oklahoma region, with possible applications in other parts […]

(Natural News) Laboratory mice are subject to many of the vulnerabilities that affect humans. So, when a recently-released study warns that female lab mice developed pre-cancerous growths in their mammary glands after they were exposed to high levels of chemicals used for fracking, it stands to reason there’s something toxic about those chemicals. The study […]

(Natural News) The chemicals used in fracking and other unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction processes are reported to be linked t0 potentially cancerous growths in the mammary glands of female mice. The lab animals were deliberately exposed at a young age to chemical levels considered detrimental to the environment. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst published their findings in the journal Endocrinology. Earlier studies exposed […]

(Natural News) The concept of aliens from a distant planet invading Earth is at the core of many a science fiction movie. And there are many people out there who firmly believe both in aliens and their desire to take over our beautiful home. For example, Futurism reported that there are many reasons aliens would […]

(Natural News) A new analysis warned that the Pennsylvania gas industry is under-reporting the extent of their methane emissions. They’re belching as much as twice the amount of air pollution they officially report to the state, reported a StateImpact news article. The warning comes from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), whose researchers analyzed 16 peer-reviewed studies for […]

(Natural News) Fracking is a risky practice that is known to have a number of negative consequences. Now a new study conducted by a team of researchers from different universities adds yet another one to the list. Mothers who live near fracked natural gas wells are said to be more likely to give birth to […]

(Natural News) Just how ready is the United States to serve the needs of the natural gas market? Better than it was before, that’s for sure. This is based on a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which showed that natural gas production in a number of U.S. states has now surpassed […]

(Natural News) Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has been wreaking havoc all over the nation despite claims that it is not harmful to people or the environment, and now it has emerged that scientists are being forced to cover up the role it plays in earthquakes. The process of fracking involves extracting natural gas by drilling […]

(Natural News) Hydraulic fracturing – more commonly known as fracking – may still be legal in many states across the U.S., but there’s no denying that it’s a highly controversial practice. In the state of Colorado, which has issued strict guidelines regarding disposal of waste water from fracking sites, has now ruled that the waste is far […]

(Natural News) While most know it as one of the scariest and most influential organizations on Earth, the World Bank is a tremendous force for good. At least, it’s actively trying to be, as evidenced by its latest move to announce that it will be cutting the money supply to oil and gas exploration projects […]
