In May, MDN brought you the sad news that New York State has fallen and is now under a Communist dictatorship, with the freedom to choose energy sources now gone (see NY State has Fallen – Gas Stoves & Peaker Plants Banned in Budget). Gov. Hochul and the Democrat legislature unilaterally voted to ban new…
Read More...The left always twists language in its attempt to push its ideology and agenda — even in Christianity.

Read More...The so-called Center for Climate Integrity (CCI), backed with FOREIGN MONEY, is behind most of the lawsuits filed by municipalities around the country (cities, counties, states) against Big Oil & Gas companies, claiming fossil energy companies know and have known for years that using their products is toasting Mom Earth into oblivion. It is the…

Northern Access is a 97-mile project from McKean County in Pennsylvania into and through Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Erie counties in New York that will flow Marcellus gas into New York State….
Read More...This is how lawless dictators behave. The U.S. Senate, charged with approving the people who run various governmental agencies, including the Dept. of Energy, rejected Jeff Marootian, nominated by Joe Biden to be the assistant secretary of the Dept. of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). Why? Joe Manchin said Marootian wants…
Read More...Congress created and chartered the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but the President appoints the person who runs it. The Bidenista currently running the SEC, Gary Gensler, is a real piece of work.
