The big energy news this week has been all LNG. Rural Americans are benefiting by a shale revolution positioning us to be the supplier in a LNG world.

The headlines from around the world this week in energy news this week have largely been about LNG and the increasing demand for it. This demand is putting rural Americans in the enviable position of potentially becoming the world’s supplier of the stuff. We’re talking about gas produced in rural Pennsylvania,…

Renewables do nothing to reduce demand for coal. Just look at Germany. Natural gas is the one and only thing offering the potential to reduce emissions.

According to the United Nations’s latest report, to meet the goals of the Paris agreement and reduce other risks, 2010 levels of global carbon dioxide emissions would need to be halved by 2030, and totally end around 2050. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that either limiting or…

 Senator Elizabeth Warren, a/k/a Fauxahontas, in her quest for perfect absurdity, now claims she has proof she’s Native American. That could explain some things.

Last year I wrote a story about two gentry class members of the US Senate from Massachusetts, Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren. Senator Warren, now permanently…

Tunkhannock is on the move economically with natural gas service coming to this Endless Mountains gateway thanks to a shale revolution lifting rural areas.

After years of planning and meetings with corporate officials and municipal leaders, The Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that ground will be broken today for the installation of a natural gas line to bring service to businesses and homes in Tunkhannock. The event will take place…

Bob McManus says New York is about to crown a king, King Andrew Corruptocrat Cuomo, but could this lead to the flameout of the world’s biggest egomaniac?

Bob McManus, a writer for City Journal, just put out a superb article entitled “King Andrew I.” He points outs Andrew Corruptucrat Cuomo is almost assured of being re-elected for a thirds…

Tensions are growing over missing American green card holder but fracking and shale gas help calm Saudi oil embargo threats. 

While America was transfixed with the sordid spectacle of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, the news that really can have international impact was playing out in Istanbul, Turkey. On…

The U.S. is increasing its natural gas liquefaction capacity by 1327% over the next five years and transforming the entire global LNG marketplace.

Natural gas from places such as Washington County, Pennsylvania will find its way across the entire world over the next five years. A new study from GlobalData reported on…

There are 29 new gas-fired power plants coming to the Appalachian Basin bringing affordable American energy, jobs and economic benefits.

Each large (over 475 megawatts) gas-fired electric power plant is an economic bonanza. The plants cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build–over a billion dollars for the largest plants. They provide hundreds of jobs during construction, jobs that last several years. They provide millions in tax revenue to local…

Andrew Cuomo is intent upon bringing the German Energiewende to New York State. It can expect the same pathetic results; no emissions gains and high prices.

In Upstate New York, economic growth and jobs that retrain young families depend on affordable energy. At this time, renewables won’t cut it. They cost too much. Three stories; California, Germany, and South Australia.

A California homeowner recently shared his electric…

Fractivists out to kill the oil and gas industry will use any tactic available to do so, as their demagoguery on the Migratory Bird Treaty shows.

How we long for the good old days! That’s the tone of some environmental industry leaders who are screaming bloody murder (literally, not figuratively) about Department of the Interior actions under President Trump. The Department’s re-interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is a case in…

The Williams company is leading the way on something we can rightly call pipeline environmentalism, the linking of the infrastructure to conservation.

The Williams company, of course, is a pipeline developer and operator. It also maintains an on-line newsletter/blog called PipeUp to report on the progress of activities in which the company is involved. The latest post…

It’s time to put the hysteria, the madness and the mobocracy of which extreme environmentalism is a part, behind us. Its time for real energy solutions.

One of our readers wrote me yesterday to bemoan the absolute madness of so much of what counts for debate in today’s society but is really just a dangerous combination of hysteria and mobocracy. She’s completely frustrated with the way environmental extremists, aided by lazy reporters (who, without…

The natural gas industry supports communities and Cabot Oil & Gas proves it again by devoting funds to the revitalization of Tunkhannock’s Dietrich Theater.

The Dietrich Theater has been cherished for decades in the Tunkhannock community. After its inception in 1936, the theater hosted movie goers when they needed it most. From the height of World War II and steadily…

Andrew Cuomo is a mindless demagogue. His pipeline political correctness is making ConEd tell natural gas customers they may have to say “No Gas for You.”

A reader sent me a New York Post editorial yesterday entitled “Thanks to Cuomo, Con Ed may have to stop taking new customers.” It’s an excellent piece…

The Shale Gas News, heard every Saturday at 10 AM on 94.3 FM, 1510 AM and Sundays on YesFM, talked about NAFTA, pipelines, new Ohio factories and much more last week.

Every Saturday Rusty Fender and I host a morning radio show to discuss all things natural gas. This week, as a guest, we had …

The Atlantic Sunrise starts moving gas tomorrow despite many attempts by fractivists and radical nuns who use and promote the stuff to halt it.

Hallelujah! The Atlantic Sunrise is going online tomorrow. You can read all about it in this press release from Williams:

The great shale revolution is rapidly advancing across the fields of fractivist and NIMBY opposition as natural gas demand increases along with production.

Yesterday’s Today In Energy from the EIA was a window on the rapid progress of the shale revolution, which itself is part of a much broader creative revolution. The reactionary forces of…

The shale revolution has brought America to a manufacturing renaissance where new and expanding factories are expected to create a multitude of new jobs. 

As we celebrate Manufacturing Day tomorrow, we focus this blog post on America’s energy revolution that has ushered in a …

Wind power, like many renewables, has been living off subsidies, artificially propped up by others people’s money as natural gas has produced without it.

Wind power’s federal subsidy, the production tax credit, is currently set to be phased out by 2020, at which point wind power will likely give way to solar and natural gas plant additions, which will replace retiring generating plants, mostly coal and nuclear, and satisfy slowly increasing electricity…

Fractivists protested and Andrew Cuomo tried to stop it but the CPV Valley Energy Center has started up and is making electricity with Marcellus Shale gas.

Finally! Competitive Power Ventures’ 680-megawatt CPV Valley Energy Center in Wawayanda (Orange County), New York is fully up and running and producing enough electricity to power 600,000 liberal New York homes. New York Gov. Cuomo tried his best to block the recently-completed (costing $900 million)…
