TL;DR: In this paper, it is widely recognized that engaging the public with both the science of fracking and with local siting processes is important in achieving public acceptance of the extraction of shale gas.
Abstract: Shale gas extraction is an issue of significant local and national political controversy. It is widely recognized that engaging the public with both the science of fracking and with local siting processes is important in achieving public acceptance.

TL;DR: The Community Rights Amendment as mentioned in this paper proposes to give local municipalities the right to ban hydraulic fracturing in the state of Colorado, but it remains far from certain if the amendment would in fact have the force and effect that its proponents believe it will.
Abstract: As a result of this litigation, and given the well-developed body of law that gives the state the power to regulate the oil and gas industry in Colorado, a constitutional amendment has been proposed. If passed, the Community Rights Amendment would purport to give local municipalities the right to ban hydraulic fracturing. Even if the amendment were to pass, it remains far from certain if the amendment would in fact have the force and effect that its proponents believe it will. This article discusses the citizen-initiated hydraulic fracturing bans that have passed in Colorado, the litigation that has resulted, the proposed Community Rights Amendment that will likely find its way onto the statewide Colorado ballot in November 2014, and the potential ramifications if the amendment is successful.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of these aircraft and their sensors continuing to steadily increase to more accurately understand infrastructure and to do so in three-dimensional space is discussed, and cost savings, improved understanding of asset health, and increased safety and compliance are discussed.
Abstract: When most industry professionals think about drones, they envision a small, toy-like object with multiple blades hovering around their infrastructure, recklessly maneuvering for the pilot's enjoyment, or worse, for nefarious reasons. Often the thought immediately conjured up is of damaged electrical transmission lines or poles, damaged pipelines, gas leaks, or worse. Instead, they should envision cost savings, improved understanding of asset health, and increased safety and compliance. Energy companies, utilities, and others have already adopted the use of these unmanned aircraft, with the use of these aircraft and their sensors continuing to steadily increase to more accurately understand infrastructure and to do so in three-dimensional space.
