Steven Pinker looks at sustainability and what it cannot be allowed to mean if we value progress. It’s not the green political correctness pushed on us.

Add Steven Pinker to the list of rational thinkers who proclaim we need to stop playing games of green political correctness if we value positive change. Sustainability, as fractivists and other environmental extremists would apply the term, has become a bugaboo preventing us from giving our children a better…

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled yesterday on Andrew Cuomo’s DEC appeal of FERC’s determination that it had taken too long in acting upon a water quality…

The DRBC offices were closed last Thursday as electrical outages forced a shutdown. That’s not much of a problem, but there is a solution. It’s natural gas.

When the DRBC offices in West Trenton, New Jersey, had to shut down last Thursday, March 8, the cheers began among my friends, neighbors and relatives. Shutting down the DRBC is next best thing to free beer. The agency has been doing everything it can, in cooperation with the Delaware Povertykeeper to…

Tom Linzey, the court sanctioned radical lawyer who buried Grant Township and others in litigation now has his eyes on Lafayette, Colorado as his next pawn.

Andrew Corruptocrat Cuomo sold out the Southern Tier of New York for the sake of appeasing the NRDC gang. It’s caused a dreadful Southern Tier exodus.

New York’s Southern Tier is experiencing an exodus, Andrew Corruptocrat Cuomo having denied the region any hope of economic revival with his fracking ban and war on pipelines; all to please a handful of malcontents and feather his bed with the all-powerful NRDC gang. The Albany Business Review…

Oklahoma has produced more wind energy per capita than just about any place else but the costs of the renewable energy subsidies are wholly unsustainable.

Oklahoma is the nation’s second largest wind generator, behind Texas. Last year, Oklahoma generated 31.3…

Sen. Lisa Baker questioned Pennsylvania DEP Sec. McDonnell regarding the DRBC quagmire at Senate Budget hearings and got him to admit some important things.

Pennsylvania Senator Lisa Baker deserves three cheers for her questioning of DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell at Senate budget hearings. It was a very respectable discussion, as is proper, but Baker had done her homework and accomplished several things. Most of all, she got an uncomfortable McDonnell,…

There’s something nefarious going on with the supposedly non-political NYU Law School, which Mike Bloomberg seems to be using to buy AG offices for the NRDC.

Last December MDN told you about the bastardization of our justice system. The New York University (NYU) School of Law is paying to…

The United States is exceeding the Clean Power Plan’s carbon emissions targets and timelines. Germany, however, is poised for a “spectacular miss” meeting their emission goals.

The United States took a lot of heat from Germany and other nations for withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, so we should be forgiven for feeling a sense of …

So much of the fractivist movement is completely fake—to the core—with a handful of groups operating under myriad names and the Russians behind some of it.

As we’ve learned of recent, the Russians are very active with social media in this country, trying to stir up things wherever they can, often on both sides of issues. One area where they’ve most definitely taken one side, though, is on hydraulic fracturing. They’re against it, unless they’re the ones doing…

Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation sponsored the virtual field trip, which…

Earthworks, the anti-growth tool of a handful of rich gentry class foundations, is embarked on an astroturfed campaign of dirty tricks aimed at Ohio.

We’ve covered some of what’s happening in three counties in Ohio as small network of fractivist types attempts to throw up obstacles to Cabot Oil & Gas doing…

Uni Blake says the DRBC has put politics before science with its proposal to enact a fracking ban based on equally political New York State health studies.

The following is Uni’s testimony at yesterday’s DRBC hearing:

My name is Uni Blake, and I am a scientific advisor at the American Petroleum Institute with a background in…

The DRBC finished its sham hearings on its proposed fracking ban yesterday with a phone-in exercise that started late, ended early and was a comedy routine.

The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) ended its sham set of hearings on its proposed fracking ban yesterday. It was a joke. Set up as experimental hearing format where…

Gordon Tomb, a former chapter officer of Trout Unlimited, calls the group out for venturing into political stupidity with the proposed DRBC fracking ban.

Trout Unlimited exceeded the limit of my tolerance for stupidity when it asked that I support a proposed fracking ban in the Delaware River watershed.

Forty years ago I was an officer of a Trout Unlimited chapter in southwestern Pennsylvania, where there were probably more miles of streams polluted by…

A judge has called out an ecoterrorist by the names that properly attach to many of those we know as fractivists — narcissistic and attention seeking.

Not since John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln has an actor so spectacularly misread his audience.

After assassinating President Lincoln at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C.—and plotting with his coconspirators to simultaneously assassinate three others—the egotistical actor expected to be hailed as a…

As Canada looks to develop its natural gas reserves, Native Americans and First Nations are showing their support and can see its importance.
