Casual observers and readers of press stories on that Dimock case involving Ray Kemble may well be unaware of the real significance of Cabot’s lawsuit.

There’s something you probably didn’t notice about that Dimock case we’ve talked about here several times (here, here and here) under the banner of “Pigs to Rigs.” Although …

The Delaware River Basin Commission proposes to ban hydraulic fracturing in the basin but it’s just the SRBC with a different hat applying double-standards.

The “D” in DRBC can now truly be said to stand for deceitful double-standards, given a proposed ban on hydraulic fracturing that deliberately ignores what its members know to be the facts from also being the governing majority of the SRBC.

Those proposed double-standards, in fact, are being used to…

Electric cars are the new politically correct response to fossil fuels, but do they make sense on a large-scale? And, don’t they just use converted fuel?

According to a new study by Wood Mackenzie, Americans should be cautious about electric vehicles (EVs) and their rate of adoption into the marketplace because they can be disruptive to the electric grid.

Because electric cars have less driving range on a charge than the equivalent gasoline-powered…

Massachusetts, a/k/a New England, with the highest gas prices in the world during the cold snap, is the ultimate example of political correctness gone mad.

Baby it’s cold outside! This was predictable (and indeed, MDN did predict it). With the arrival of an extended cold period, because of a lack of natural gas pipeline capacity in New England, recent spot prices for natgas near Boston have spiked to more than $35 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf). It…

David Morabito is fighting a Goliath we know as Gov. Andrew “Corruptocrat” Cuomo, his DEC and their fracking ban. His case details a travesty of justice.

It hasn’t gotten a lot of attention, but Attorney David R. Morabito of Rochester, New York and his wife are owners of property in Allegany County, just north of Potter County, Pennsylvania. It has some Marcellus Shale and…

The Guardian, a UK newspaper, has long opposed fracking in its reporting, making a victim of Vera Scroggins, for example, but now it’s trashing it at home.

The Guardian is, probably, the UK’s most well-known newspaper outside of that country and certainly here in the US where we’ve become quite accustomed to its biased reporting on fracking. Who can forget…

Pipelines are the infrastructure needed to realize Pennsylvania’s economic future, say the Operating Engineers and they ask the Commonwealth not mess its up.

Pipelines must adhere to strict state and federal regulation throughout construction, testing and infrastructure replacement to ensure system integrity. According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the natural gas…

Bill McKibben believes the fossil fuel bubble is ready to burst and is overvalued; however, he is gambling that he can change the market.

Investing is really a gambling game. You are placing you’re your money on a bet and a series of strategic steps. If you weigh the odds, and your own instincts, you can stand to win big or lose big.

I tend to stand in the class that believes gambling is a game of skill.  If it were more luck-based, then I…

The Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project says the “shale industry continues to impact” Washington County, yet health there is much improving.

It’s that time of year when every non-profit in the land begs for money in the hopes those who’ve done well might want an extra tax deduction for something they already support. My e-mail box is full of such solicitations, including several from groups I don’t support at all who somehow got my name;…

Fractivism and related “Keep-It-in-the-Ground” type movements ran completely off the rails in 2017, plowing themselves into the dirt rhetorically speaking.

As we take stock of 2017 and prepare for the new year, it’s a good time to look back at some of the colossal missteps by “Keep It in the Ground” activists. These extremists, who seek to keep oil and natural gas “in the ground” regardless of the detrimental effects to all of us, upped their rhetoric (and…

Upstate New York is dying as Governor Andrew Cuomo, after rejecting natural gas development, has pursued one politically correct boondoggle after another.

One fiasco after another, Governor Andrew “Corruptocrat” Cuomo, has been demonstrating his just how bad things can get when one combines arrogance with incompetence.…

The NY Green Bank claims its financial performance has leveled out, which is true, but only if you ignore lots of stuff and a Level Solar collapse.

I’ve been periodically checking on the status of the NY Green Bank, Governor Corruptocrat’s slush fund for rewarding politically correct and politically connected crony corporatists, most recently about a year ago. It was losing money at…

Range Resources’ 2017 Toys For Tots campaign was the Company’s most successful such drive to date, as it continues to support the communities where it works.

With help from employees, vendors and the Observer-Reporter,…

Environmental Scrooge types jeer at holiday lighting, but it’s actually something to cheer, as a symbol of our energy dynamism and capacity to innovate.

Environmentalists critical of electrified America must have mixed emotions this time of the year. It may be the season of good cheer and goodwill toward all, but it is also the time of the most conspicuous of energy consumption. America the Beautiful is at her best when billions of tiny stringed lights turn…

It’s been a long hard tough slog for the Mariner East 2 but it moves ahead, nonetheless, as plans are revised, stop orders are lifted and antis spin wheels.

Back in July, West Goshen Township, in the Philadelphia suburb of Chester County, won a temporary victoryin their efforts to stop Sunoco Logistics’ Mariner East 2 (ME2) NGL pipeline running…

Tom Wolf, true to his spoiled child personality, is on a power trip. He’s throwing Pennsylvania’s Constitution to the wind and our legislature to the floor.

It’s increasingly apparent Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf is a typical spoiled rich kid, the prototypical trust-funder. He’s convinced he knows it all and refuses to engage with others who he considers beneath him, including our legislature. He’s also blithely ignoring …

Still more data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows natural gas is reducing CO2 emissions in the power sector and we’ve only just begun.

Natural gas, because it’s less carbon intensive than coal and oil, has dramatically altered the impact of the electric power sector on CO2 emissions. The electric power sector, in fact, now produces less in the way of CO2 emissions than the transportation sector. This points the way to much greater…
