A decision by the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board exposes the radical agenda of the Delaware Riverkeeper a/k/a Povertykeeper and throttles it back.

Last week something beautiful happened in the Pennsylvania courts; the Delaware Riverkeeper got handed another big loss. This one, before the Environmental Hearing Board, was special in three ways. First, it delivered a very sharp blow to the kind of speculation on which fractivists such as the Delaware Riverkeeper always, of necessity, rely. Secondly, it unambiguously stated the Environmental Rights Amendment should not be read as preventing any impacts to the environment. Finally, it exposed the fact the Delaware Riverkeeper and Clean Air Council, twin shills for the William Penn Foundation, are about about stopping natural gas development and using the courts as weapons in policy disputes.

The Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) is a court established in the Commonwealth to hear cases involving the Department of Environmental Protection. If it surprises you to know there is such a court, it is a reflection of the fact environmental groups have so tied up things for anyone wanting to engage in productive activity that it requires a special court to untangle them.  This case is an extremely tangled one that’s been in and out of court for years as the Delaware Riverkeeper has harassed Rex Energy (putting the company out of business may well be one of the objectives) over natural gas development taking place in Middlesex Township, Butler County.
