Be there!

A no solutions band of fractivists went to a construction and demolition waste site Tuesday to oppose a power plant that would address NYC electricity needs.

The hollowness of the fractivist cause was exposed on Tuesday. A dozen or so enviros appeared at a construction and demolition wastes site in North Bergen, New Jersey.

New York energy prices are out of control, says Vic Furman, and the fault lies with politicians who have, for the most selfish reasons, blocked development.

Here in Andrew Cuomo’s New York, I am paying nearly $6.00 a gallon for propane. I do expect it to drop some, now that winter’s over, but it will. no doubt, go right back up in four short months when Fall weather returns.

We here in New York have lost the opportunity to take advantage of the same…

Pennsylvania’s Auditor General is conducting an audit of both the DRBC and the SRBC and it’s long overdue based on DRBC deceit with respect to its budget.

The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) is playing games with its budget, which isn’t the first time. Regular readers, in fact, will recall how the agency was taking money from the William Penn Foundation to study gas issues at the same time the latter was funding the Delaware Riverkeeper then suing the…

Guy S. Williams, a long time member and Recording Secretary of Pipeliners Local Union 798, tells the story of his life and times as a pipeline welder.

My life began on a hot July day in 1950, when I was born to the union of Billy Ray and Jean Williams. We lived in a small shotgun house on my Grandfather’s farm. It was a cotton and cattle farm, a place I thought was a little piece of heaven and, consequently, loved. 

My days consisted of going to school…

British Columbia hypocrisy on pipeline issues is a case of BC vs. PC, the latter being political correctness on environmental morality that ignores facts.

Those of us involved in the energy industry in the United States have watched as states like New York and Massachusetts try to usurp the Federal government’s power to approve and permit interstate pipelines. Our issues seem like child’s play, however, compared to the goings on in the Canadian…

The NESE pipeline project is mainly about getting more natural gas to New Yorkers but union welders turned out in Pennsylvania Amish country to support it.

I knew the hearing would be a good one when I saw the welding trucks arrive. As several of them pulled up to the doors of the Solanco High School in Quarryvile, Pennsylvania, it became obvious there would be more supporters of the project than enemies attending. Indeed, I didn’t see any of the kooky…

Solar and wind energy projects in New York are facing the same struggles natural gas faced years ago; being over regulated and nobody wants them in their town.

In June 2014, New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, reaffirmed two lower court rulings that empowers townships and municipalities across the state to strip away property owners’…
