"Shell prepares to remake itself into gas giant after BG Group deal

Shell will cut its [2016] budget, which will be combined with BG Group’s, by $3 billion to $33 billion – down by about 45 percent since 2013. Only $3 billion of that total will be spent on high-cost U.S. shale production and heavy oil projects in Canada and elsewhere.

Shell will also cut $3 billion in operating costs and 2,800 jobs this year after the merger, and it’s planning to sell $30 billion over the next two years. ..."

Anyone really really believe that the current slowdown was/is due to the actions of environmentalist ... rather than due to the o/g industry's overestimation of the market for natural gas? I'd describe "environmentalists" as a nuisance to the industry, rather than as an actual "threat".

Depends on the political winds too. But I agree with you the over production combined with the slow down in demand from China has done much to improve the lives of average Americans while damaging the O&G industry, a major bellwether in the recession recovery.

Isn't it odd how our government has vilified the petro chemical industry when it was driving the recovery and now that it's in the tank, I'm hearing rumors of government aid.

Josie, I took what you wrote - "The environmentalists will be a constant threat here ..." as having a basis in fact. That is, it had already happened and continues to be a "threat". My mistake.

I don't *know*, but my guess is that the primary objectors to pipelines are the property owners who will be impacted. Some for financial and/or some for environmental reasons.

NG is promoted as a relatively clean transition fuel. What would be the point of switching to it if climate change is a "fraud"?

What you asked was "And who is it that is in the forefront of stopping every major oil and NG pipeline proposed everywhere in the Country?"  My personal opinion has no bearing on FERC's pipeline decisions.   There is nothing to argue about.

To find the status of interstate gas pipeline applications, use FERC's "Major Pipeline Projects Pending (Onshore)"
http://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/indus-act/pipelines/pending-proj...

Scrolling down the 2015 list, I came across the TGP Susquehanna West Project.  From the project Fact Sheet: "The project would provide 145,000 dekatherms
of additional capacity for one customer. The project, in Tioga County, includes approximately 8.2 miles of new 36-inch pipeline looping on the TGP Line 300 system. - Complete Construction – October 2017"
