Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc., a subsidiary of Encana Corporation, strongly disagrees with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) preliminary conclusions in its draft report related to the groundwater study in the Pavillion natural gas field of Wyoming. The EPA’s data from existing domestic water wells aligns with all previous testing done by Encana in the area and shows no impacts from oil and gas development. Of most concern, many of the EPA’s findings from its recent deep monitoring wells, including those related to any potential connection between hydraulic fracturing and Pavillion groundwater quality, are conjecture, not factual and only serve to trigger undue alarm.
As electricity demand increases, policymakers must make decisions about which energy resources will meet future demands. Much of the recent literature has focused on the contribution of new coal power plants to carbon emissions (Milford et al., 2005; Milford et al., 2007; MIT 2007). However, policymakers and industry are increasingly interested in job creation and economic development analyses to understand the full impacts of new electricity generation projects.1 Additionally, economic development impacts are often a critical piece in building public support for wind power projects. The purpose of this research is to look at the specific factors that drive wind-power-related economic development and to better understand...
Habitat based assessments were conducted of the U.5. Army Corps of Engineers' hydroelectric projects in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, to determine losses or pains to wildlife and/or wildlife habitat resulting from the development and operation of the hydroelectricrelated components of the facilities, Preconstruction., postconstruction, and recent vegetation cover types at the project sites were mapped based on aerial photographs. Vegetation cover types were identified within the affected areas and acreages of each type at each period were determined. Wildlife target species were selected to represent a cross-section of species groups affected by the projects. An interagency team evaluated the suitability of...
The consumption patterns of the industrialized countries are already placing a grave burden on the earth's natural resources. If ecological disaster is to be averted, these patterns must be changed as a matter of urgency. Equally pressing is the need to create the conditions in which the developing countries can meet the growing needs of their populations without compounding the damage caused by the developed nations. They need an international system that offers them financial and technological support to effect the transition to strong and ecologically sustainable economies. This calls for a wholly new global partnership based on common interests, mutual need and shared responsibilities.
