Our friend, Nick Grealy, a guest blogger here and passionate proselytizer for natural gas around the world has passed away. He sought to “reimagine gas.”

He had recently announced he was confident he’d make it a few more months but then, shortly thereafter, I noticed the tweets had stopped and knew it couldn’t be good. I searched the internet and found …

A retracted study that had been peer reviewed indicates the danger in relying on it to ensure sound science when it comes to fractivist applauded reports.

Back in 2015, this is how an Akron, Ohio newspaper headlined some methane leakage research then being conducted by the University of Maryland:

Greenhouse Gas…

Natural Gas NOW readers pass along a lot of stuff every week about natural gas, fractivist antics, emissions, renewables, and other news relating to energy.

Here’s more material sent along by Natural Gas NOW readers; great stuff highlighting the power of natural gas and the absurdity of fractivism. Check out the links and other short bits below:…

New England is out in the cold, being denied affordable, domestic energy by Governor Cuomo’s fracking moratorium and pipeline rejections.

Adrian Kusminsky’s column in Hometown Oneonta two weeks ago, entitled “10 Years Ago, Anti-Fracking Fight Taught Communities Empowerment,” celebrates the anti-fracking mobilization instrumental in the ban on gas development. As a key player, he is proud of the effort. He writes about “the vulnerability of our local…

This is one of the most meaningful and most important posts we’ve ever run on the subject of hydraulic fracturing, natural gas development and our security.

Yesterday may have been the most instructive day ever to understand the current international situation involving natural gas.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his State of the Nation address, bragged about “invincible” missiles that could carry nuclear warheads.  He showed videos of missiles…

Dan Markind explains by importing Russian LNG to New England, rather than building pipelines to deliver domestic natural gas, puts the entire nation at risk.

The curious inconsistency among our national energy policy, national security policy and national environmental policy is coming into sharper focus. It likely will be amplified by events thousands of miles away in the Middle East.

Start locally. Last month I wrote about the astounding fact that…

The Delaware Riverkeeper a/k/a Povertykeeper has lost yet again in pursuing a challenge to a pipeline project that should have received no opposition at all.

A year after Delaware Riverkeeper filed a request for a rehearing of an approval for the Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) Orion Project, FERC has rejected it. What’s interesting is two-fold; how FERC handled the rehearing request and its rejection of the Delaware Riverkeeper cumulative impact argument.…

Sue Mickley uses history as a lesson for energy prepping and subsidized renewables are not the answer; natural gas infrastructure is key.

This is why I enjoy every bit of warmth the world wants to provide. Being a history buff, I heard about the “summer of snow” or “year with no summer” in 1816 which destroyed all the crops and lowered world temps 5 degrees. There were three major volcanic eruptions between 1813-1816 culminating in the …

Students at Susquehanna County Career & Technology Center were able to use their skills to manufacture a training tool for Cabot Oil & Gas.

As Cabot Oil and Gas develops new technology to further increase productivity of its wells, the close relationship with the Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center (SCCTC) at the Elk Lake High School Campus has resulted once…

The Cabot Oil & Gas lawsuit, incredibly enough, has prompted a return of The Three Stooges (Huston, Kemble & Stevens) to Dimock, to do a stupid frack trick.

Well, it’s multiple stupid frack tricks to be honest and they’re so stupid, one has to wonder if the game isn’t finally up for these fractivists. Earlier today, Dimock junkyard plaintiff, now defendant, Ray Kemble pulled another stunt which ranks right up there with some of his…

Mayor Dave Del Vecchio of Lambertville, NJ says he wants to kill an “ill-advised” PennEast Pipeline, ignoring the fact he might as well be Mayor of Gasville.

There’s plenty of demagoguery to go around in New Jersey since Politically Correct Panderer Phil Murphy became governor of the over Garden State, but Mayor Dave Del Vecchio of Lambertville in Hunterdon County is giving the big guy a run for the gold medal in soapbox oratory.

Mayor Del Vecchio …

The DRBC says it’s worried about loss of water used for hydraulic fracturing. Meanwhile, New Jersey water losses from public supplies daily dwarf fracking.

So much of what counts for public debate is pure demagoguery. It’s hardly a new phenomenon but it seems to have now infected official language as well as general public discourse. No better example exists than …

Countries all around the world are cutting renewable energy subsidies. They’re no longer affordable and investment is slowing; wind and solar don’t cut it.

From 2011 to 2017 global investment in renewable energy was almost flat as countries cut their renewable subsidies. Investment in 2017 increased by just one percent in the United States, but declined in many areas of the globe. In Japan, investment was down by …

Natural gas development (horizontal drilling/Hydraulic fracturing) is about to take a big leap forward with a new 3 dimensional technique — cube development.

Modern day shale drilling, which combines fracking with horizontal drilling, has largely been a 2-dimensional activity–drilling horizontally through a single shale layer in order to extract gas from tiny pockets within the shale. But there’s more than one shale layer commercially viable. Here in the…

Violent environmental activism is increasingly being rationalized by fractivists and others bent on imposing their will but that’s not the First Amendment.

Everybody agrees that the First Amendment guarantees our freedom of speech and “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” But there is a growing movement among environmental extremists and their apologists to redefine just how violent…

Susan Mickley presented at the Schnecksville DRBC hearing calling for the DRBC to stop using junk science to try to pass a permanent fracking ban.

It is a safe bet that virtually all epidemiology-based federal regulatory efforts over the past 25 years or so may be considered as “fake science” or “junk science.” This is because federal agencies, especially the EPA and the DRBC’s current regulatory efforts have taken actions or issued regulations based on the…

Sustainable Medina County is trying to con $15,000 out of Medina, Ohio to pay for a Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project air quality study.

When a junk law and a junk science outfit get together to pursue a political agenda, the only possible result is a con job. It appears that’s exactly what court-sanctioned extremist Attorney Tom Linzey and Raina Rippel, a community organizer and faux health expert, are trying to pull off in Medina County,…

Methane leaks are mostly insignificant, but while striving to do even better, the oil and gas industry is taking action to further reduce them.

Natural gas advocates spend a good deal of their time answering or rebutting myths. These myths, perpetuated by special interest groups and pseudo-environmentalist groups, are regurgitated repeatedly. Among them is the idea methane emissions are a growing problem.

A natural gas advocate is a myth buster armed…

The Shale Gas News, heard every Saturday at 10 AM on 94.3 FM, 1510 AM and Sundays on YesFM, talked about frac sand, ethane crackers, U.S. exports and much more last week.

The Shale Gas News has grown again; welcome Gem 104 as our FOURTH station! Gem 104 helps to solidify the Shale Gas News coverage in an important Marcellus region, PA’s northern tier. The Shale Gas News is now broadcasting in Bradford, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Luzerne, Lycoming, Pike,…

The Delaware Povertykeeper or “The Riverkeeper” as she likes to identify herself has a second home in Sullivan County. Tax records say it’s heated with gas!

A puff piece that recently appeared in an on-line magazine called Delaware Currents revealed something new about the Delaware Povertykeeper a/k/a Riverkeeper; that she and her…
