I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The market is being closely watched around the world, and billions of dollars are at stake. But some nagging questions are lingering from the first auction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s first-ever carbon auction last November was a very exclusive online event, open only to bidders and regulators at the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Four days later, Mary Nichols, who heads the board, declared it a resounding success, saying the auction came off \"without a hitch.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hundreds of participants were trained at every stage of the process, including how to register and how to bid,\" Nichols told reporters in a victory-lap news conference. \"And it all worked just as we had hoped it would. \"\u003c!--more-->Well, not quite “all.” One of the biggest players in the auction encountered a rather sizable hitch that Nichols never mentioned. More than a than a month later, \u003ca title=\"Bloomberg - CARB Auction\" href=\"http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-12-20/edison-snafu-skews-demand-in-first-california-carbon-permit-sale.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomberg reported\u003c/a> that one of California’s largest utilities, Southern California Edison, had inadvertently bought about 40 percent more permits than it intended. Bloomberg said it obtained internal documents revealing that Edison bidders had used “the wrong format” to submit its bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some market players have expressed concern that the $16 million mistake overstated the real demand for carbon permits and set the price for carbon artificially high (\"settlement\" price of the first auction was about nine cents higher than the $10 floor price). It was a gaffe that ensured the auction would sell out, and a “hitch” that was never made public by regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s a security aspect to it,\" CARB spokesman Dave Clegern explained in an interview a few days before the first auction. He said there’s a reason for the tight lid on bidders. About a week after the Bloomberg story appeared, and KQED made its inquiries, the Air Board put out a stern “reminder” of the rules prohibiting bidders from talking about the auctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>\"If we had had more transparency, it would’ve become much more quickly clear what had happened.\"\u003c/strong> \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Clegern went on to say that, \"We are simply trying to let the market take its course without being flooded with misinterpretation or rumors or anything like that, that might cause spikes that are unrealistic and unnecessary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Edison nor the Air Board would talk with us about this particular incident. The current rules prohibit it. And at a recent workshop on “information sharing” from the cap-and-trade program, it was clear that the Air Board is taking it seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even statements such as, ‘We were unable to purchase as many allowances as we would’ve liked,’ are related to strategy and bid quantity, so those are also prohibited,\" intoned CARB official Rajinder Sahota, who manages monitoring of the cap & trade program. The state releases general information about each auction -- like the total permits offered and purchased -- but there’s a strict gag order on all market participants when it comes to what individual companies are bidding and buying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it comes to our attention that those kinds of discussions are occurring and that information is being shared,\" Sahota warned attendees, \"ARB will investigate, because at face value they are a violation of the regulation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some large corporate cap-and-trade players are still arguing for less disclosure. But other observers say, generally, more is better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By increasing the transparency, increasing access to data, then people can start to realize that it’s not a shell game,\" said Tim O’Connor, who's been closely watching California’s carbon market for the Environmental Defense Fund. \"It’s a legitimate tool for reducing emissions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This concept of “transparency” is crucial to public confidence, especially in California, where memories are still raw from the late ‘90s, when manipulation of the electricity market sent utility bills soaring, put PG&E into bankruptcy, and helped unseat Governor Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley energy economist Severin Borenstein says that this time around, \"If we had had more transparency, it would’ve become much more quickly clear what had happened.\" Borenstein is on an independent market assessment committee that has argued for more “transparency” in the carbon markets. But he says it’s still a bit unclear where to draw the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that they are still in the process of developing policy on this,\" he said. \"Certainly in the long run I would want to see them be more transparent and certainly allow more public discussion among stakeholders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the experts we spoke with agree with Borenstein that overall, the market seems to be working. Since its launch in November, the price of California carbon has gone up, which is the right direction for emissions to eventually come down. The minimum bid for today’s auction has been raised, from $10 to closer to $11 per ton of carbon. Futures have been trading in the mid-teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Borenstein says it’s not unusual for new markets to start with a hiccup or two. \"The market is not gonna launch smoothly on Day 1. Markets never do,\" he explained. \"It’s gonna require adjustments. And so the screw-up in the first auction, for instance, is one that I don’t anticipate will happen again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question remains: if it does happen again, and it does affect the market price of carbon credits in California--who will know?\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images) \u003ccite>(Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Why? Because the federal Bureau of Land Management has opened up 18,000 acres in Monterey, Fresno and San Benito Counties to oil leases. But the oil deep in what’s called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=monterey+shal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey Shale\u003c/a> is notoriously tough to extract. “Most if it is locked inside the shale rock,” Lauren Sommer reports. “But recently, oil companies have gotten a lot better at getting oil out of shale thanks to hydraulic fracturing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) is now \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/18/calif-regulators-release-draft-fracking-regulations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drafting regulations around fracking\u003c/a>. But many environmentalists are just dead-set against the technique, worrying about water contamination and other negative effects. \u003c!--more-->So let’s hear what former Vice President Al Gore — one of the world’s most influential advocates on climate change and other environmental issues — has to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Forum host Michael Krasny\u003c/strong>: What do you think about the anticipated fracking expansion in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Al Gore\u003c/strong>: I’m concerned about it. It has pluses and minuses. Advocates have long pointed out that natural gas has only 50 percent of the CO2 content when it’s burned compared to coal. But a lot of it leaks in the fracking process. And when the methane leaks into the atmosphere, each molecule has 70 times the potential warming effect compared to CO2 over a 10-20 year period, and then it lessens somewhat. But that means not very much needs to leak to wipe out the advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there are the water requirements. Six million gallons on average for each new fracking well. And the water that’s used is mixed with very toxic chemicals, and that sometimes pollutes the groundwater. The industry claims it doesn’t, but there are too many examples that shows that it does — often when they re-inject the poisoned fracking water back deep into the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These and other issues are ones that I think are deserving of careful exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People often say fracking is an issue that requires the classic question: is the glass half-full or half-empty?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the Earth’s atmosphere is completely full. And we’re going to have to make a shift to renewable energy sources. We have the ability to do that. The report came out recently that last year the largest new additions to electricity production in the U.S. came from wind — 42 percent of all new energy production from wind. In Australia, wind energy, a report says, is now cheaper than electricity from a new coal plant or a new gas plant. And solar photovoltaic energy is spreading far more rapidly than anyone thought was possible. In 2010 the world’s cumulative investments in renewable energy for the first time exceeded the world’s investments in fossil fuel energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the fracking wave over the last two years has put [non-renewables] out in front again, but it is inexorable that we will shift to renewable energy. Part of the problem with speeding up this transition, though, is that we provide massive subsidies to coal and oil, and on a global basis it amounts to about $500 billion a year. We ought to save money buy stopping those subsidies to the dirty carbon fuels.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I asked Lauren Sommer to comment on one part of what Gore said: his contention that there have been “too many examples” of groundwater being contaminated by the fracking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Groundwater contamination has been one of the most controversial questions in the fracking debate,” Sommer says. “While there have been documented cases of methane seeping into groundwater, linking it directly to fracking activity has been trickier. The EPA is still investigating one of the most high- profile cases in Pavillion, Wyo., where early results showed that fracking chemicals could be seeping into the groundwater there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica has \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/article/new-study-fluids-from-marcellus-shale-likely-seeping-into-pa-drinking-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported on the water contamination issue\u003c/a>, as related to fracking in Pa. From an article about studies on the potential effects on drinking water from fracking in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=marcellus+shale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcellus Shale\u003c/a> …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>New research has concluded that salty, mineral-rich fluids deep beneath Pennsylvania’s natural gas fields are likely seeping upward thousands of feet into drinking water supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the fluids were natural and not the byproduct of drilling or hydraulic fracturing, the finding further stokes the red-hot controversy over fracking in the Marcellus Shale, suggesting that drilling waste and chemicals could migrate in ways previously thought to be impossible…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study, conducted by scientists at Duke University and California State Polytechnic University at Pomona and released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, tested drinking water wells and aquifers across Northeastern Pennsylvania. Researchers found that, in some cases, the water had mixed with brine that closely matched brine thought to be from the Marcellus Shale or areas close to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No drilling chemicals were detected in the water, and there was no correlation between where the natural brine was detected and where drilling takes place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the brine’s presence – and the finding that it moved over thousands of vertical feet — contradicts the oft-repeated notion that deeply buried rock layers will always seal in material injected underground through drilling, mining, or underground disposal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/article/new-study-fluids-from-marcellus-shale-likely-seeping-into-pa-drinking-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, says KQED Science Senior Editor Craig Miller, the problem with fracking may have less to do with the specific process and more with the fact that it’s enabled more drilling in general …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While the term “fracking” makes for great poster plays at demonstrations, it’s just one phase of a well’s development,” he says. “The biggest threat to water quality may be simply the enormous new boom in drilling that fracking techniques (and horizontal drilling) have enabled. Thousands of new wells (and more reworked old wells) mean a lot more “straws” being stuck through underground rock formations. Each of those straws represents a chance that somebody might cut corners on making sure the well is properly sealed off from the surrounding aquifer. It’s the reason that regulators keep harping on ‘well casing management.’ \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fracking comes with its own concerns, of course, like seismic risk, air pollution from arrays of diesel generators, and the disposal of huge quantities of waste water back into the ground.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can listen to Gore’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201302121000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complete Forum appearance\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\n",

One subject that perked our interest because we’ve been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/fracking/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">covering it\u003c/a>: fracking. As KQED Science’s Lauren Sommer explains …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Fracking is an oil-extraction technique in which millions of gallons of water, mixed with sand and chemicals, are injected underground at high pressure. That cracks the rocks, letting the oil out. Around the country, hydraulic fracturing has led to record levels of oil and gas production.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And as Forum’s Amanda Stupi recently wrote in her post “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/24/what-to-pay-attention-to-as-the-california-fracking-debate-heats-up/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What to Pay Attention to as the California Fracking Debate Heats Up\u003c/a>” …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While fracking has been big news for a while in Pennsylvania, North Dakota and elsewhere in the country, it has yet to become a popular topic of dinner conversation in California. That’s likely going to change.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83253\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/12/fracking.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-83253\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/12/fracking-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"Workers change the pipes in a fracking operation in Waynesburg, PA.

Because the federal Bureau of Land Management has opened up 18,000 acres in Monterey, Fresno and San Benito Counties to oil leases. But the oil deep in what’s called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=monterey+shal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey Shale\u003c/a> is notoriously tough to extract. “Most if it is locked inside the shale rock,” Lauren Sommer reports. “But recently, oil companies have gotten a lot better at getting oil out of shale thanks to hydraulic fracturing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) is now \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/18/calif-regulators-release-draft-fracking-regulations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drafting regulations around fracking\u003c/a>. But many environmentalists are just dead-set against the technique, worrying about water contamination and other negative effects. \u003c!--more-->So let’s hear what former Vice President Al Gore — one of the world’s most influential advocates on climate change and other environmental issues — has to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Forum host Michael Krasny\u003c/strong>: What do you think about the anticipated fracking expansion in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Al Gore\u003c/strong>: I’m concerned about it. It has pluses and minuses. Advocates have long pointed out that natural gas has only 50 percent of the CO2 content when it’s burned compared to coal. But a lot of it leaks in the fracking process. And when the methane leaks into the atmosphere, each molecule has 70 times the potential warming effect compared to CO2 over a 10-20 year period, and then it lessens somewhat. But that means not very much needs to leak to wipe out the advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there are the water requirements. Six million gallons on average for each new fracking well. And the water that’s used is mixed with very toxic chemicals, and that sometimes pollutes the groundwater. The industry claims it doesn’t, but there are too many examples that shows that it does — often when they re-inject the poisoned fracking water back deep into the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These and other issues are ones that I think are deserving of careful exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People often say fracking is an issue that requires the classic question: is the glass half-full or half-empty?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the Earth’s atmosphere is completely full. And we’re going to have to make a shift to renewable energy sources. We have the ability to do that. The report came out recently that last year the largest new additions to electricity production in the U.S. came from wind — 42 percent of all new energy production from wind. In Australia, wind energy, a report says, is now cheaper than electricity from a new coal plant or a new gas plant. And solar photovoltaic energy is spreading far more rapidly than anyone thought was possible. In 2010 the world’s cumulative investments in renewable energy for the first time exceeded the world’s investments in fossil fuel energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the fracking wave over the last two years has put [non-renewables] out in front again, but it is inexorable that we will shift to renewable energy. Part of the problem with speeding up this transition, though, is that we provide massive subsidies to coal and oil, and on a global basis it amounts to about $500 billion a year. We ought to save money buy stopping those subsidies to the dirty carbon fuels.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I asked Lauren Sommer to comment on one part of what Gore said: his contention that there have been “too many examples” of groundwater being contaminated by the fracking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The EPA is still investigating one of the most high- profile cases in Pavillion, Wyo., where early results showed that fracking chemicals could be seeping into the groundwater there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica has \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/article/new-study-fluids-from-marcellus-shale-likely-seeping-into-pa-drinking-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported on the water contamination issue\u003c/a>, as related to fracking in Pa. From an article about studies on the potential effects on drinking water from fracking in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=marcellus+shale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcellus Shale\u003c/a> …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>New research has concluded that salty, mineral-rich fluids deep beneath Pennsylvania’s natural gas fields are likely seeping upward thousands of feet into drinking water supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the fluids were natural and not the byproduct of drilling or hydraulic fracturing, the finding further stokes the red-hot controversy over fracking in the Marcellus Shale, suggesting that drilling waste and chemicals could migrate in ways previously thought to be impossible…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study, conducted by scientists at Duke University and California State Polytechnic University at Pomona and released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, tested drinking water wells and aquifers across Northeastern Pennsylvania. Researchers found that, in some cases, the water had mixed with brine that closely matched brine thought to be from the Marcellus Shale or areas close to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No drilling chemicals were detected in the water, and there was no correlation between where the natural brine was detected and where drilling takes place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the brine’s presence – and the finding that it moved over thousands of vertical feet — contradicts the oft-repeated notion that deeply buried rock layers will always seal in material injected underground through drilling, mining, or underground disposal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/article/new-study-fluids-from-marcellus-shale-likely-seeping-into-pa-drinking-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, says KQED Science Senior Editor Craig Miller, the problem with fracking may have less to do with the specific process and more with the fact that it’s enabled more drilling in general …\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>While the term “fracking” makes for great poster plays at demonstrations, it’s just one phase of a well’s development,” he says. “The biggest threat to water quality may be simply the enormous new boom in drilling that fracking techniques (and horizontal drilling) have enabled. Thousands of new wells (and more reworked old wells) mean a lot more “straws” being stuck through underground rock formations. Each of those straws represents a chance that somebody might cut corners on making sure the well is properly sealed off from the surrounding aquifer. It’s the reason that regulators keep harping on ‘well casing management.’ \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fracking comes with its own concerns, of course, like seismic risk, air pollution from arrays of diesel generators, and the disposal of huge quantities of waste water back into the ground.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kennedy Jr. and civil rights leader Julian Bond, were arrested Wednesday after tying themselves to the White House gate to protest the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune also was arrested — the first time in the group’s 120-year history that a club leader was arrested in an act of civil disobedience. The club’s board of directors approved the action as a sign of its opposition to the $7 billion pipeline, which would carry oil derived from tar sands in western Canada to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activist Bill McKibben, actress Daryl Hannah and NASA climate scientist James Hansen also were arrested, along with more than 40 others. They were charged with failure to disperse and obey lawful orders, and released on $100 bond each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protesters are demanding that President Barack Obama reject the pipeline, which they say would carry “dirty oil” that contributes to global warming. They also worry about a spill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many business and labor groups support the 1,700-mile pipeline as a source of jobs and a step toward North American energy independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 4-year-old project has become a flashpoint in the debate over climate change, with opponents labeling it a “carbon bomb” that could trigger global warming. Supporters call that rhetoric overblown and say Obama should approve the pipeline as part of his “all of the above” energy policy, which encourages a wide range of domestic energy development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview before his arrest, Brune said civil disobedience was justified because of the threat posed by tar sands oil, which is difficult to produce and emits significantly more greenhouse gases than conventional oil. The Sierra Club is the nation’s oldest and largest environmental group and generally shies away from extreme tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to send a strong message that we expect the president’s ambitions to meet the scale of the challenge and reject a pipeline that carries dirty, thick oil” that contributes to global warming, Brune said. The president’s supporters want Obama to “fight with both fists” against climate change, Brune said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The made-for-media protest came ahead of a rally planned for Sunday on the National Mall, where organizers are expecting at least 20,000 people to protest the tar sands pipeline and urge Obama to act forcefully on climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy, president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a New York-based environmental group, said he was being arrested “with regret,” noting that he would prefer to contest the pipeline in court — and may eventually do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy, whose father was an attorney general and U.S. senator, called the pipeline “a boondoggle of monumental proportions” that will “ruin the lives of millions of people,” through increased carbon pollution and likely spills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama was visiting a manufacturing plant in North Carolina when the demonstration occurred. As he made his way to a factory in Asheville, protesters held signs saying “Stop coal” and “No to Keystone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has called climate change a serious threat and in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night urged Congress to combat the phenomenon. If Congress fails to act, he will use executive authority to take steps to cut greenhouse gas pollution and encourage increased use of cleaner sources of energy, Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has twice thwarted the Keystone XL pipeline because of concerns over its route through sensitive land in Nebraska, but has not indicated how he will decide on the pipeline now that Nebraska’s governor has approved a new route. The State Department has authority over the project, because it crosses an international border, but most observers expect Obama to make the final decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bond, former chairman of the NAACP, said he participated in the pipeline protest “because I’m an American and I’m worried about the planet.” He called the pipeline a human-rights issue, since many landowners in the six states where it will travel have been unable to resist Calgary-based TransCanada, the pipeline operator, as it seizes their property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bond also said the pipeline will exacerbate pollution problems near the Houston refineries where it will be processed, including neighborhoods where minorities predominate. The pipeline will travel through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bond, 73, said he was unhappy at the prospect of being arrested. “My mother told me I’d never get a job” if he got arrested, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Bond and others were being arrested, the American Petroleum Institute, the largest lobbying group for the oil industry, again urged Obama to approve the project. The group said it will pay for ads supporting the pipeline and will mobilize grassroots events across the country urging Obama’s approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>API President Jack Gerard called Keystone XL “the most thoroughly vetted major infrastructure project in the nation’s history” and noted that TransCanada has agreed to 57 special conditions sought by the U.S. government to ensure environmental safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the unemployment rate hovering near 8 percent, “getting people into these new jobs is critical,” Gerard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past week, nine people have been arrested in attempts to disrupt the pipeline’s construction through Oklahoma. One of the eight people arrested Monday near Schoolton, Okla., had attached himself to a crane and was freed by a firefighter using bolt cutters.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Supporters call that rhetoric overblown and say Obama should approve the pipeline as part of his “all of the above” energy policy, which encourages a wide range of domestic energy development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview before his arrest, Brune said civil disobedience was justified because of the threat posed by tar sands oil, which is difficult to produce and emits significantly more greenhouse gases than conventional oil. The Sierra Club is the nation’s oldest and largest environmental group and generally shies away from extreme tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to send a strong message that we expect the president’s ambitions to meet the scale of the challenge and reject a pipeline that carries dirty, thick oil” that contributes to global warming, Brune said. The president’s supporters want Obama to “fight with both fists” against climate change, Brune said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The made-for-media protest came ahead of a rally planned for Sunday on the National Mall, where organizers are expecting at least 20,000 people to protest the tar sands pipeline and urge Obama to act forcefully on climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy, president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a New York-based environmental group, said he was being arrested “with regret,” noting that he would prefer to contest the pipeline in court — and may eventually do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy, whose father was an attorney general and U.S. senator, called the pipeline “a boondoggle of monumental proportions” that will “ruin the lives of millions of people,” through increased carbon pollution and likely spills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama was visiting a manufacturing plant in North Carolina when the demonstration occurred. As he made his way to a factory in Asheville, protesters held signs saying “Stop coal” and “No to Keystone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has called climate change a serious threat and in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night urged Congress to combat the phenomenon. If Congress fails to act, he will use executive authority to take steps to cut greenhouse gas pollution and encourage increased use of cleaner sources of energy, Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has twice thwarted the Keystone XL pipeline because of concerns over its route through sensitive land in Nebraska, but has not indicated how he will decide on the pipeline now that Nebraska’s governor has approved a new route. The State Department has authority over the project, because it crosses an international border, but most observers expect Obama to make the final decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bond, former chairman of the NAACP, said he participated in the pipeline protest “because I’m an American and I’m worried about the planet.” He called the pipeline a human-rights issue, since many landowners in the six states where it will travel have been unable to resist Calgary-based TransCanada, the pipeline operator, as it seizes their property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bond also said the pipeline will exacerbate pollution problems near the Houston refineries where it will be processed, including neighborhoods where minorities predominate. The pipeline will travel through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bond, 73, said he was unhappy at the prospect of being arrested. “My mother told me I’d never get a job” if he got arrested, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Bond and others were being arrested, the American Petroleum Institute, the largest lobbying group for the oil industry, again urged Obama to approve the project. The group said it will pay for ads supporting the pipeline and will mobilize grassroots events across the country urging Obama’s approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>API President Jack Gerard called Keystone XL “the most thoroughly vetted major infrastructure project in the nation’s history” and noted that TransCanada has agreed to 57 special conditions sought by the U.S. government to ensure environmental safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the unemployment rate hovering near 8 percent, “getting people into these new jobs is critical,” Gerard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Under the proposed rules, oil drillers would have to disclose where they’re injecting water underground at high pressure to release more oil. The rules would also add new oil well integrity testing (\u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/california-prepares-first-fracking-regulations-joining-nationwide-debate/\">more about the rules\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://calchannel.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=7&clip_id=913\" target=\"_blank\">Watch video replay of the hearing\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For the other witnesses, including county officials and environmental groups, the focus of the hearing was what’s not known about fracking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We keep hearing from industry representatives that there are no problems with fracking in California,” said Andrew Grinberg of the non-profit Clean Water Action. “Yet, we haven’t adequately been looking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grinberg and others say the draft rules don’t do enough to protect groundwater and that they lack transparent public disclosure. Oil drillers would also have the option to avoid disclosing the chemicals they use by claiming they are trade secrets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A moratorium on fracking while we look at these issues is not a radical policy,” Grinberg said. “Other states are doing it and it’s the sensible thing to do with so much at stake right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While industry representatives stressed there's no evidence that fracking is increasing in the state, there is new interest in \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/with-large-oil-reserve-california-faces-fracking-debate/\">California's oil-rich Monterey Shale\u003c/a> formation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some oil drillers recently began voluntarily disclosing fracking locations on the \u003ca href=\"http://fracfocus.org/\">FracFocus.org\u003c/a> website. State regulators say the site will also be used when mandatory reporting begins, but critics say it fails to meet public disclosure standards because the data can't be aggregated and the site is owned by an industry group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several state senators also raised concerns over the agency’s ability to enforce new regulations. “I’m concerned about our ability to follow up well,” said State Senator Loni Hancock. “No regulations are going to make any difference if we don’t have qualified inspectors in enough numbers to actually enforce those regulations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The number of on-the-ground field engineers out inspecting that we have on staff is on the order of 50,” responded Kustic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are currently about 50,000 active wells in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve never made any secret, that as we develop the draft regulations further, we’ll be re-evaluating the need for additional resources and if there is one, we will be coming and knocking on the Legislature’s door with a request,” said Jason Marshall, Chief Deputy Director of the Department of Conservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State oil and gas regulators say it will be at least a year before rules are finalized.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It would preserve a place that over the centuries, Native Americans, early Spanish settlers, homesteaders from the East, and Basque sheepherders have considered home, offering an important series of perspectives on the larger sweep of American history.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_88674\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 159px\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-88674 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/02/kenburns640-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ken Burns (Courtesy of Rahoul Ghose/PBS)\" width=\"159\" height=\"240\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ken Burns (Courtesy of Rahoul Ghose/PBS)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"It represents what nature often does, all the great conflicts and tensions are there, of volcanic activity and fault lines, and the sort of geology of it is just spectacular to see on display,\" Burns told Samuel. \"It now takes its place with Yosemite, the greatest collection of geothermal features on Earth, [and] the grandest canyon on earth, the Grand Canyon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that Pinnacles and all national parks represent what Americans can do when they work together\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
