Richard Barrett explains why the DRBC’s reasons for its proposed fracking ban don’t hold up and actually may bring more Russian gas imports to New England.

Ban natural gas in Northeast Pennsylvania? Why on earth would we want to do that?

An article in The Wall Street Journal this week makes a clear case for why we shouldn’t. Headlined “…

Is Tom Wolf really this calloused, this hypocritical, this obtuse? It appears he is. No brags about shale gas and then denies it to one group of citizens.

Yesterday, March 21, 2018, may mark the low point of the Tom Wolf administration in Pennsylvania for residents of Wayne County. Our pampered, two-faced, trust-funder governor took to bragging about Pennsylvania’s shale gas resources. He did so oblivious to the reality of simultaneously denying them to those…

It was “gas wars no more” at Binghamton University where students engaged in a civil discussion about energy and civil engagement. Vic Furman was there.

This past week, another board member of the Joint Landowners Coalition of NY and I both received an invitation to Binghamton University to speak about our experiences in community civil engagement. We talked with approximately 40…

The DRBC is making the case for its indefensible fracking ban on the basis of a fraudulent claim and a theory of regulation with no equal in power grabs.

The proposed DRBC fracking ban is a power grab. It is an illegal expansion of authority granted to the agency under the Delaware River Compact. The Compact gives the DRBC the power to establish standards for treatment of wastes that might be discharged into the waters of the basin. The DRBC proposes to use…

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has determined our natural gas exports exceeded imports for the first time in 2017; the shale revolution at work.

The shale revolution just keeps producing miracle victories and this time its this: U.S. natural gas exports now exceed imports and are soaring as our nation does energy and most others do political correctness. The EIA has the the facts and, although they’re not in the business of bragging on them or…

A blunt-speaking FERC Commissioner from Pennsylvania called out New Englanders for political correctness on energy and its price.

The RTO Insider recently posted a fascinating article where a FERC Commissioner from Pennsylvania told New England to knock it off and stop importing Russian Gas. FERC…

The Council on Foreign Relations predicts China will turn to renewable energy as a challenge to the United States. Sorry China, renewables are not the future energy.

Imagine a centrally planned economy out-thinking and out-performing a consumer-driven, free-market one.

That is the prognostication, even hope, of Amy Myers Jaffe, director of the program on Energy and Climate Change at the Council on Foreign Relations, as stated in the current edition…

Ethane cracker plants will bring endless economic opportunities to our region and now is the time to get them up and running.

The sooner we get ethane crackers up and running in our region, the sooner our state can increase the benefits it sees from the natural gas liquid supplies we have. In West Virginia, most of the resources being developed from our…

Sen. Vincent Hughes, a condescending bought and paid for shill for Philadelphia public employee unions, brings out the best in the Marcellus Shale Coalition.

Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent Hughes from Philadelphia is smug, arrogant, and completely wrong about the Marcellus industry–and he enjoys being wrong. Maybe because he’s being paid to be wrong.

At a recent PA Department of Revenue Senate Appropriations Hearing (watch it below),…

Constitution Pipeline has asked FERC to rehear its argument that NY-DEC waived rights to act on its water quality certification application. Is there hope?

Back in October I wrote here about the very compelling case the Constitution Pipeline made to FERC to decide Andrew Cuomo’s DEC had, buy a combination of delay and deception, effectively waived its right to…

Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator loses it in a bizarre attack on the oil and Gas industry in which he runs his armored tank over the rhetorical cliff.

The air in Rochester is about to get a lot cleaner thanks to something New York’s politically governor isn’t about to laud; a Kodak moment for clean skies.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo likes to extol his green credentials passing out billions of other people’s money to his chosen winners among the corporatists such as Elon Musk, but none of that is really making an environmental difference. What has made a tremendous difference is natural gas, which has…

Natural Gas NOW readers pass along a lot of stuff every week about natural gas, fractivist antics, emissions, renewables, and other news relating to energy.

Why Trial Lawyers Encourage and Fund Fractivism

Wonder why Fractivist Rasputin,…

The news media’s reporting on climate change is always gloom and doom, but as George Ahearn points out, they are basing their reports off junk science.

The biggest myth in American journalism is that climate news is covered as a science when we all know it is covered as a political left or right issue. Since the press has already decided that the matter is scientifically settled, you rarely get any good news, mostly Armageddon.

In fact, most of the…

The Heinz Endowments has been funding numerous fractivist causes with the family fortune but is it just buying protection for its own foreign gas projects?

The New York Post carried a story yesterday by Peter Schweitzer who is promoting his new book “…

The courts are now entangled in an issue too bizarre to take seriously; how to remove tree-sitter pipeline opponents, so we’re having a contest. Join in!

Our buddy, Jim Willis, has posed an interesting question over at Marcellus Drilling News; how does one legally remove a law-breaking…

The Percoco Verdict, says City Journal’s Bob McManus, shows what happens when the Upstate New York economic strategy is simply picking winners and losers.

There’s an amazingly good article over at City Journal about the Percoco verdict. You won’t find much of anything about the verdict itself or Andrew Cuomo’s “brother” Joe Percoco,…
