Last Friday in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden tried to sell the line that Pennsylvania was a big winner in the Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games (see Hydrogen Hub Winners Announced – WV Takes Prize in M-U Region). PA Gov. Josh Shapiro also tried to sell that same line, claiming PA is “the only state to secure…
Read More...Yesterday, the Pennsylvania Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee held an informational briefing on Project Canary, a company that measures, analyzes, and reports on methane emissions from natural gas production and distribution infrastructure. Many Marcellus/Utica drillers use Project Canary’s services in their programs to produce “responsibly sourced gas” (RSG). It appears the aim of the…
Read More...New York State has made no bones about the fact that it HATES fossil energy — particularly natural gas. The state has banned fracking, permanently (for all time), preventing abundant supplies of natgas from being extracted within the state, dooming counties in Upstate to economic poverty. The state has blocked multiple gas pipelines from Pennsylvania…
Read More...Yesterday, we brought you the great news that the Marcellus/Utica region scored one of seven major hydrogen hub project grants being dished out by the Bidenistas (see Hydrogen Hub Winners Announced – WV Takes Prize in M-U Region). As we pointed out, West Virginia is the big winner, hosting most of the 15 projects associated…

Read More...Haters gonna hate (shake it off, shake it off). We learned that from philosophical genius and pop culture guru Taylor Swift. “Hate” perfectly describes the radicalized left in this country that refuses to admit the reality and truth that 95% of all hydrogen today comes from cracking natural gas. In the future, that percentage is…
Read More...This is growing tiresome. Appalachians Against Pipelines, a group backed with big money from Big Green, continues to funnel paid “protesters” to construction sites for the 95% completed Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), mainly in Montgomery County, Va., who chain themselves to equipment requiring state troopers to carefully remove them (requiring hours), slowing the already challenging…
Read More...As predicted by Reuters, on Friday, the Bidenistas announced the Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games winners. There were seven projects selected from 33 finalists. Among them was the West Virginia-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2), which is a project that will use Marcellus/Utica natural gas as the feedstock to produce “blue” hydrogen, which is hydrogen…
Read More...Joe Biden traveled to Pennsylvania (campaign rally) on Friday to make the official announcement of the seven lucky winners of the Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games (see today’s lead story). Joe pitched Pennsylvania as the big winner, which is a joke. PA scored small pieces of two approved projects. The one big, main hydrogen hub project…
Read More...With all of the good news about WV (and OH, and PA) winning the Biden Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games contest by scoring $925 million for the WV-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) (see today’s lead story), there is a potential black cloud on the horizon. Investments in ARCH2 might not actually come to pass…
Read More...The U.S. rig count actually rose last week, adding a piddly four rigs to 622 active rigs (regaining the four it lost the week before). We remain near the lowest point since February 2022. The count in the Marcellus/Utica, after falling by one three weeks ago and holding steady two weeks ago, gained one rig…
Read More...Emily Satterwhite, who teaches Appalachian studies at Virginia Tech and has been engaged in illegal activities against the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) going back more than five years (see our previous stories about Satterwhite here). Satterwhite continues to encourage others to join illegal MVP construction blockades. On Friday, MVP asked a Montgomery County judge to…
Read More...Explosive news from the Pittsburgh Business Times about the ill-fated plan by Pennsylvania to try and attract one of 6-10 regional hydrogen hubs to the state. As we told you yesterday, according to Reuters, PA’s application to score a government grant for a hydrogen hub, called the Decarbonization Network of Appalachia (DNA H2Hub), was passed…
Read More...We finally have some good news to share concerning Columbia Gas’ project to build a tiny 3.37-mile, 8-inch pipeline under the Potomac River from Maryland to West Virginia. The project, called the Eastern Panhandle Expansion, has been blocked repeatedly by leftwing wackos in Maryland (see Fed Judge Upholds Maryland Decision to Block Pipe Under Potomac)….
Read More...Amid the good news today of court and legislative victories for pipeline projects that will flow more Marcellus/Utica molecules, we have the sad news that Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) has, after more than five years of trying, pulled the plug on a project to build a second power plant next door to an existing power…
