Could wind farms cause global warming, possibly even more than fossil fuels? A new Harvard University study suggests they could.

A Harvard University study suggests that, under certain conditions and in the near term, increased wind power could mean more climate warming than would be caused by the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity. The…

Four counties in Pennsylvania—Bradford, Greene, Susquehanna and Washington—can supply all the natural gas needed by Germany. It can give Russia the Heisman.

My post the other day about the fact “Susquehanna County Produces More Than 4% of U.S.” has been quite well read. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) monthly data for…

Rural patients in the Endless Mountains, thanks to natural gas development, now have better access to health care and, overall, an improved quality of life.

As a life-long resident of Susquehanna County and CEO of Endless Mountains Health Systems (EMHS), Loren Stone has seen primary care and critical access in his community all but disappear. Fortunately, he has seen it come back to…

Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court just decided a case in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County, that strikes a blow for common sense in applying the law.

The case has an impossibly long name, so I’ll just refer to it as “Allegheny Township.” You can find my highlighted version of it here. It’s 69 pages, but quite readable in…

Have members of the New York Post editorial staff been reading NaturalGasNOW? It sure looks that way. They just endorsed Molinaro over Corruptocrat Cuomo.

Perhaps I should have copyrighted the term. My use of Corruptocrat to describe Andrew Cuomo has mostly been well received by NaturalGasNOW readers. One follower did advise me to go lighter on it. It seems, though, the New York Post agrees it is only natural to call Cuomo by the slang term that…

European LNG demands are growing along with imports of Russian gas and if Europeans don’t want to be clawed by the Russian bear they’ll need our gas.

New data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) indicates just how much demand there will be for our US LNG in the years ahead. European LNG demands are growing for two reasons. One is their refusal to entertain fracking or more nuclear power. The other is the obvious risk in becoming dependent…

Tunkhannock is getting natural gas service and stepping into the second phase of its future; a future built on sustainable natural gas development.

Ground was ceremoniously broken on Oct. 16 for the first phase of a public natural gas service project in Tunkhannock. UGI Utilities is overseeing the project, which will begin with the simultaneous construction of a gate station in Tunkhannock Township to tap a Williams line and the installation of a trunk into…

Those who oppose natural gas development often cite threats to drinking water quality as a reason, but the facts tell us water quality depends on much else.

Several years ago, I participated in a fracking debate at Bloomsburg University with Tony Ingraffea and some other folks. It was a fun evening. The crowd, of course, was fractivist to the core but the debate was lively and worthwhile. Three things stand out in my memory of the event.

One was…

Will Colorado voters, residents of a state with a huge oil and gas industry benefiting them in innumerable ways, choose to gut their own state economy?

The anti-fracking folks are trying a clever new strategy in Colorado. Instead of banning fracking, they just make it impossible. In fact, they make nearly all oil and gas development and production impossible – which is exactly what radical “leave it in the ground” eco factions demand.

However, the…

Gordon Tomb, relates some recent findings by the Manhattan Institute; findings demonstrating natural gas outshines solar and blows past wind in practicality.

Natural gas, not alternative sources, is by far the best investment for the production of electricity, according to a recent report by the Manhattan Institute.

According to…

StateImpactPA is an arrogant entity that likes to think it doesn’t do the bidding of its gentry class funders but fake news on Mariner East 2 is revealing.

Geesh. How hard is it to get the basic facts of a story correct? A story appeared in StateImpactPA the other…

Virginia, contrary to Andrew Cuomo’s New York, once again simply follows the law in approving a water quality certification for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

Although the 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) was federally approved a year ago, in October, 2017, the $6 billion pipeline from Dominion Energy…

Pennsylvania gas will become even more critical than it already is, if international tensions over Saudi behavior disrupt the foreign energy supply. 

Just six months after the Chinese Communist leadership massacred hundreds of their own people at Tiananmen Square in 1989, President George H. W. Bush sent his envoy Brent Scowcroft on a secret mission. When pictures of National Security Advisor Scowcroft raising glasses for a champagne toast with the Butchers…

The Boston Herald has written a spectacular editorial starkly explaining the risks of giving power to the green energy lobby. It is simply cold and darkness.

The Boston Herald has put out an editorial that says it all regrading the danger of following the advice of the green energy lobby on…

The Shale Gas News, heard every Saturday at 10 AM on 94.3 FM, 1510 AM and Sundays on YesFM, talked about ConEd, pipeline environmentalism, pipeline regulations 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 guests, we had Tom Shepstone of Natural Gas NOW and …

The Lackawanna College School of Petroleum & Natural Gas has trained many local residents for the natural gas industry and just celebrated with a clay shoot.

After five years of growth under Cabot Oil & Gas, the annual Sporting Clay Tournament benefiting the Lackawanna College School of Petroleum & Natural Gas was enjoyed once…

Bill McKibben may be the world’s premier charlatan, a Rockefeller hired gun and phony man of reason, who just loves giving the wink and nod to extremists.

Last week’s trial against the three “valve turners” who temporarily shut down two Enbridge Energy pipelines was supposed to be the “holy grail of climate activism”…

The Appalachian shale revolution has been an astounding event. It has lifted up a region often thought to be synonymous with poverty, creating opportunity.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has come out with an knock ’em dead report on the sheer magnitude of the…
