The Cabot Oil & Gas lawsuit, incredibly enough, has prompted a return of The Three Stooges (Huston, Kemble & Stevens) to Dimock, to do a stupid frack trick.
Well, it’s multiple stupid frack tricks to be honest and they’re so stupid, one has to wonder if the game isn’t finally up for these fractivists. Earlier today, Dimock junkyard plaintiff, now defendant, Ray Kemble pulled another stunt which ranks right up there with some of his…

Mayor Dave Del Vecchio of Lambertville, NJ says he wants to kill an “ill-advised” PennEast Pipeline, ignoring the fact he might as well be Mayor of Gasville.
There’s plenty of demagoguery to go around in New Jersey since Politically Correct Panderer Phil Murphy became governor of the over Garden State, but Mayor Dave Del Vecchio of Lambertville in Hunterdon County is giving the big guy a run for the gold medal in soapbox oratory.
Mayor Del Vecchio …

The DRBC says it’s worried about loss of water used for hydraulic fracturing. Meanwhile, New Jersey water losses from public supplies daily dwarf fracking.
So much of what counts for public debate is pure demagoguery. It’s hardly a new phenomenon but it seems to have now infected official language as well as general public discourse. No better example exists than …

Countries all around the world are cutting renewable energy subsidies. They’re no longer affordable and investment is slowing; wind and solar don’t cut it.
From 2011 to 2017 global investment in renewable energy was almost flat as countries cut their renewable subsidies. Investment in 2017 increased by just one percent in the United States, but declined in many areas of the globe. In Japan, investment was down by …

Natural gas development (horizontal drilling/Hydraulic fracturing) is about to take a big leap forward with a new 3 dimensional technique — cube development.
Modern day shale drilling, which combines fracking with horizontal drilling, has largely been a 2-dimensional activity–drilling horizontally through a single shale layer in order to extract gas from tiny pockets within the shale. But there’s more than one shale layer commercially viable. Here in the…

Violent environmental activism is increasingly being rationalized by fractivists and others bent on imposing their will but that’s not the First Amendment.
Everybody agrees that the First Amendment guarantees our freedom of speech and “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” But there is a growing movement among environmental extremists and their apologists to redefine just how violent…

Susan Mickley presented at the Schnecksville DRBC hearing calling for the DRBC to stop using junk science to try to pass a permanent fracking ban.
It is a safe bet that virtually all epidemiology-based federal regulatory efforts over the past 25 years or so may be considered as “fake science” or “junk science.” This is because federal agencies, especially the EPA and the DRBC’s current regulatory efforts have taken actions or issued regulations based on the…

Sustainable Medina County is trying to con $15,000 out of Medina, Ohio to pay for a Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project air quality study.
When a junk law and a junk science outfit get together to pursue a political agenda, the only possible result is a con job. It appears that’s exactly what court-sanctioned extremist Attorney Tom Linzey and Raina Rippel, a community organizer and faux health expert, are trying to pull off in Medina County,…

Methane leaks are mostly insignificant, but while striving to do even better, the oil and gas industry is taking action to further reduce them.
Natural gas advocates spend a good deal of their time answering or rebutting myths. These myths, perpetuated by special interest groups and pseudo-environmentalist groups, are regurgitated repeatedly. Among them is the idea methane emissions are a growing problem.
A natural gas advocate is a myth buster armed…

SolarCity, the star feature of Andrew Cuomo’s “Buffalo Billion” program to revitalize Upstate New York by picking a winner and subsidizing it is fading fast.
Andrew Cuomo has poured a ton of taxpayer money into SolarCity and has even given Elon Musk a “Get Out of Jail Free” card to avoid payback obligations in the event it fails to deliver promised jobs. Part of the…

Two river basin commissions operate in Pennsylvania; the Delaware (DRBC) and Susquehanna (SRBC) today. Both are now receiving a healthy dose of skepticism.
Yesterday, two more sham DRBC hearings were hold in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania (near Allentown) on its proposed fracking ban. Although the outcome is pre-determined, the hearings generated some earnest criticism of the DRBC. Pennsylvania’s Auditor General, Eugene DePasquale, also joined two members of the…

Vera Scroggins is now moving her attention to Ohio where Cabot Oil & Gas is exploring new territory, but Ohioans need to know a few things about her.
Vera Scroggins is the endearing “golden girl” of fractivist myth, lauded by those eager to treat her as the granny protester who takes on big oil. The truth, though, is a far different thing, which virtually everyone in Susquehanna County and environs knows all too well. Ohioans unfamiliar with Vera’s…

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
