The gas consuming Park Foundation trust-funders are becoming ever more bold in doing what they can to keep everyone else from having access to this energy.

We’ve followed the Park Foundation for years, of course. They’re the epitome of so much that’s wrong with the way the wealthy special interests influence our politics and public policy. Worse, they do it as a tax-exempt private foundation …

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…

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…
