Greenpeace and friends have learned absolutely nothing from the Energy Transfer Partners lawsuit against it and continue to defame, distort and dissemble.

Common sense would suggest that if you’re named as a defendant in a billion-dollar lawsuit, accused of making “materially false,…

When It Comes to Fracking, Emotion Is No Substitute for Science

Nick Grealy reflects on what he expects from UK fracking, the roles of emotion and science and what he faces in the way of personal challenges right now.

August is the traditional peak of the silly season when the UK media uses any number of tenuous, out dated or too often, simply bored attempts to feed the maw of the media machinery. With audience and grown ups away, the field is opened up to a new crop of writers misguided enough to still see some romance…

DRBC Not Only Corrupt, But Obviously Incompetent

Strange chaotic things have been going on at the DRBC recently as members have been replaced, damaging info has been leaked and protests needlessly spurred.

Yesterday, I noted the rumors I had earlier heard and my suppositions regarding the same appeared to be correct. DRBC folks and friends began leaking word all over the place that the agency was…

Corrupt DRBC Leaks Like A Sieve; Says Ban in the Works

A DRBC fracking ban seems to be in the works and members, employees or colluding partners couldn’t wait to release the news. What corrupt enterprise!

It appears the rumors and my supposition were correct. The DRBC and/or its friends at the Riverkeeper, et al are leaking like a sieve and putting out the word the agency will announce…

The Shale Revolution in Oil and Gas – Our Economic Big Stick

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing — the shale revolution — have bolstered the US economy while enhancing our foreign and military policy position.

The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing is at the heart of the shale revolution and has yielded abundant unconventional energy.

Is the William Penn Foundation Planning a DRBC Ban?

The William Penn Foundation, as a private foundation, is legally prohibited from any lobbying, but it seems to be laying groundwork for a DRBC fracking ban.

There’s something especially rotten going in the Denmark known as the Delaware River Basin. It’s being orchestrated by the William Penn Foundation, which is a private Haas family foundation not legally permitted to do any lobbying whatsoever, but which also has made a standard practice of doing it through…

New Holland Develops NGT (Natural Gas Tractor)

New Holland, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of farm equipment, already has a propane farm tractor and has now developed one that uses methane fuel.

It’s being marketed as a “sustainable” farm tractor that burns farm-generated methane, but it can just as easily work off conventional natural gas, of course. New Holland already has a propane powered farm tractor, so this is the next logical step. It’s one sleek blue farm machine and provides one of…

South Miami Goes Wild and Mandates Solar Panels for New Roofs

South Miami politicians have passed a law requiring new roofs to include solar panels, putting politically correct ideology ahead of both liberty and reason.

Florida is a beautiful state. Having lived there for a few years, I fell in love with the Sunshine State, as you were close to major metropolitan areas as well as places that seem to not changed since the Jurassic Period. It is a favorite destination for tourism and retirement; unique in every capacity you can…

Sea Change Foundation the Epitome of Tax-Exempt Corporatism

The Sea Change Foundation is the epitome of corporatism and corruption as it uses tax-exempt charity status to fund its rent-seeking and attack competitors.  

Politico is anything but an unbiased observer; hence its hyperbolic headlines and ledes but  it does put out a lot of facts and if you’re patient enough to read beyond the 10th paragraph you often find them. A …
