The forgotten men and women of the Canadian energy industry are mad as hell and not taking it anymore. They’re protesting in their trucks and it’s spreading.

Whenever I go to New York City, which is as seldom as possible, I drive. My vehicle is a Ford F-150 and, although it’s the most popular one in America, I stand out like a shiny red apple in a basket of lemons. At least that’s the analogy I favor, though some would suggest otherwise. If I wear on my…

Something strange has happened. It seems Vera Scroggins has flipped, dropping her pipeline opposition. Is it so, or is she just trapped by her own illogic?

The Susquehanna Independent carried a highly unusual letter to the editor the other day from none other than Vera Scroggins, a frequent NaturalGasNOW commenter and subject. A friend sent me a clipping of…

Jennifer Huntington has left us. She was the plaintiff, and victim, the forgotten woman, in the Middlefield, New York home rule case, who we’ll not forget.

Jennifer Huntington was a remarkable individual. She was a dairy farmer, and a very innovative one. She owned the Cooperstown Holstein farm in the Town of Middlefield in Otsego County, New York. …

The French fuel riots demonstrate what can happen when ordinary people are denied the basic necessities of life by “let them eat cake” elitists with agendas.

The French Revolution is hardly a thing to be admired, given its ultimate consequences, but it was the natural result of a “let them eat cake” elitist mentality on the part the country’s monarchs. Ironically, Louis XVI, was a liberal monarch by the day’s standards, but he was too slow to understand the…

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is out with some new data on natural gas reserves that is simply astounding.

Though the Montrose and Elk Lake School districts in Susquehanna County took different approaches to their respective conversions to the use of natural gas, both districts…

Our Marcellus Shale gas from Pennsylvania and West Virginia provides the LNG leverage needed by Europeans to curb Russian aggression against Ukraine. 

The simmering dispute over waterway rights between Ukraine and Russia broke into armed conflict this week. Its implications are enormous both for the energy world as a whole and especially for us in the Marcellus Shale region. But some background is required to appreciate the connection.

Briefly, when…

Several energy companies have worked with the Oilfield Energy Center to develop a Mobile Oilfield Learning Unit (MOLU) circulating the Appalachian region.

For the very first time the Appalachian basin will be getting its very own MOLU. The MOLU, or Mobile Oilfield Learning Unit, is a traveling exhibition run by the Oilfield Energy Center that…

There seems to be ever more corporatism these days—the use if government to advance special interests—and its failures are becoming ever more evident.

The Chevy Volt is dead and the Amazon deal is already in deep political trouble. Corporatism invariably fails because government is lousy picking winners and losers compared to the market. There is a great lesson in these two seemingly unrelated developments. It is that every big investment in corporatism is a…

Dan Markind says the natural gas industry has a good hand environmentally, but needs to do a better job of making the environmental case for natural gas. 

On Black Friday, the Trump Administration released Volume II of the National Climate Assessment.

The fossil fuel miracle that continues yet today thanks to fracking raised up and continues to raise up humanity, taking mankind a giant step forward.

The Thanksgiving season is a good time to express our sincere gratitude that we no longer “enjoy” the “simpler life of yesteryear.” As my grandmother said, “The only good thing about the good old days is that they’re gone.”

For countless millennia, mankind lived on a precipice, in hunter-gatherer,…

Comparing Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in the SRBC region, with Wayne County, in the DRBC region, illustrates what the shale revolution has delivered.

No reader of this blog could possibly not appreciate the economic injustice of the Delaware River Basin Commission not permitting residents to benefit from the shale revolution the same way as folks in the Susquehanna River Basin. The cost of that injustice is measurable, though. I demonstrated some of this…

A group known as Seeding Sovereignty is a perfect demonstration of Millennial ignorance combined with an arrogance so stunning as to be almost unbelievable.

One of our especially astute readers sent me a copy of Tweet by a group known as Seeding Sovereignty. It’s apparently an organization catering to Millennials in an attempt to mobilize them for gentry class causes. One look at the video clip is enough to convey the unique blend of condescension and idiocy…
