Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) 2013
In recent years the scale of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and natural gas in the United States has grown enormously. This might be positive news for efforts to mitigate climate change, since natural gas produces fewer carbon emissions than other fossil fuels in many situations, but there are also reasons for concern, including fugitive methane emissions associated with natural gas production and the carbon footprint of oils recovered through these methods. This contest seeks proposals on how to measure, monitor, and reduce the climate impacts of fracking. See more...

Proposals
Countries implement a GHG fee on mined and imported fuel and goods. Part of the fee funds methane-sniffing drones.
The current NEPA regulations could be altered to apply to fracking projects and proposals.
