A problem plaguing the entire country is old conventional oil and gas wells that were never adequately plugged and capped, called orphaned wells, because (supposedly) nobody knows who owns them. In the fall of 2021, President Biden signed into law the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, some $1.2 trillion in pork barrel spending, passed with the…
Read More...Mama says, “Stupid is as stupid does.” The phrase from the modern classic Forrest Gump perfectly describes a proposal floating in the Pennsylvania legislature called House Bill (HB) 170, which would increase setback distances for shale wells from 500 feet to 2,500 feet — effectively killing any new shale well drilling anywhere in the state….
Read More...The so-called Pennsylvania Bipartisan Climate Initiative officially launched last Friday. The group is made up of liberal Democrats — it is certainly NOT “bipartisan,” as it falsely claims. The aim and goal of the group is the mass brainwashing of the PA public, pushing the state’s poorly-written Environmental Rights Amendment (ERA) law. The group hopes…
Read More...The mental gymnastics leftists go through to justify their anti-freedom, anti-capitalist views is truly a marvel to behold. Take the so-called Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a carbon tax scheme aimed at shutting down coal- and natural gas-fired power plants. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf could not get the Republican legislature to agree to enroll the…
Read More...We finally have a list of the 15 proposed projects that are part of the the West Virginia-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) project. Earlier this week, officials with the Dept. of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) and Battelle, the technology lab headquartered in Columbus Ohio that is quarterbacking the ARCH2 project,…
Read More...An abrupt turn of events. Pennsylvania Secretary of the Dept. of Environmental Protection, Rich Negrin, has resigned his post, or rather, he will resign. He “pre-resigned” — handing in his notice that he will officially resign as of Dec. 9. But until then, for the next six weeks (effective immediately), Negrin is on medical leave….
Read More...Yesterday, officials with the Dept. of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) and those involved with the West Virginia-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) project held a virtual meeting discussing where the ARCH2 project stands and the long-term effects of the project in the communities near where the nodes of the hub will…
Read More...Five Pennsylvania Republican State Senators held a press conference yesterday at the State Capitol in Harrisburg to proclaim their love and support for hydrogen projects in light of the recent Biden Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games announcement. As we’ve been covering for over a week, seven projects were selected to receive a collective $7 billion in…
Read More...In the fall of 2021, President Biden signed into law the so-called Infrastructure bill, some $1.2 trillion in pork barrel spending, passed with the help of turncoat Republicans (see Biden So-Called $1.2T Infrastructure Bill Passes Thanks to RINOs). Only about 9% of the $1.2 trillion goes to infrastructure projects like roads and bridges. One of…
Read More...Rich Negrin, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP), was supposed to be Gov. Josh Shapiro’s guy who could magically make the trains run on time at the DEP. He was the White Knight bureaucrat who could crack the code on getting simple permits for construction — things like Chapter 102 erosion and…
Read More...Two radical Big Green groups have brazenly announced they are spending more than a quarter of a million dollars in an attempt to help buy an open seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Conservation Voters of PA Victory Fund, in partnership with Earthjustice Action, are attempting to convince Pennsylvanians who are inclined to believe Big…
Read More...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...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…
