Those Pesky Martians – Who Knew They Were Contributing to Climate Change Here on Earth?

It’s a little-known fact that Mars’ gravity pulls Earth closer to the sun, resulting in the warming of our climate. This fascinating and completely unexpected connection between the two planets has received little fanfare, and has been provided little discussion thus far. Truth is, significant geological evidence spanning over 65M years shows deep sea currents on Earth to undergo recurring cycles of strength every 2.4M years, an occurrence directly related to the influence that Mars hold over…See More

Surprise! Chesapeake Energy is Back on Top Again

Everybody knows the oil and gas business is a roller-coaster ride. I know of no other industry which has such highs and lows, of boom or bust. And perhaps no one single company over the past 35 years has had more ups and downs that Chesapeake. They have ridden Space Mountain so often they should have a free lifetime pass. They’ve been given up for dead more times than I can count and yet….The company was founded in 1989 by Aubrey McClendon and Tom L. Ward with an initial investment of just…See More

So....You Want to Ban Fracking? Better Think Twice

It seems each year we come closer and closer to a ban on hydraulic fracturing. For the first time ever, we have a Presidential candidate who declared “No question, I am in favor of a national ban on fracking”. She has since backtracked on this issue, but her track record says otherwise. She was, after all, a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal along with her comrade Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. While environmentalists surely are overjoyed at the possibility, there is a heck of a lot more to consider…See More

Will the Chevron Decision Reshape the Oil Industry?

Just two weeks ago the US Supreme Court overruled over 18,000 judicial opinions, some as many as 40 years old. This landmark decision was rendered on June 28 in Loper Bright Enterprises vs. Raimodo. Later, on July 1, they held that the statute of limitations to challenge the actions of federal agencies under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) does not begin until a plaintiff actually suffers injury by means of final agency…

In researching this subject, I discovered an article featured in OilOnLine which provides an interesting twist on conventional fracking techniques. Virginia based PDN Mountaineer, LLC announced that they have partnered with Utah based Purestream Technology to incorporate their Trilogy system to treat and purify wastewater from their Marcellus operations. Purestream claims to be…

Can Pennsylvania Save the EV Industry?

                                                                       Can Pennsylvania Save the EV Industry?

First, let’s address the elephant in the room. Fossil fuel-based industries and the products they are used to create are not going away in our lifetimes. Not in our children’s lifetimes. Likely not ever. That is not to say, however, that their use cannot be curtailed. Environmentalists are working 24/7/365 to achieve this and, to a certain degree, are succeeding. This…

Dear, I picked interest on you after going through your page profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here on gomarcellusshale.com because it is a public site. Could you please get back to me to my private email contact address ( josephmclaughlin500@gmail.com ) so that we can discuss privately. My regards,
