Is this really the depths to which we’ve now descended? If you disagree with a legitimate, legal business and their right to engage in a legitimate, legal practice (but you don’t like it), you bastardize the legal system and launch a criminal investigation?

In 2013 Eureka Resources built a Marcellus Shale wastewater treatment facility near Towanda (Bradford County), PA with a capacity to treat up to 10,000 barrels of wastewater per day (see Eureka Resources Building PA’s Biggest Marcellus Wastewater Plant).

“OK Republicans, time to put up or shut up” (so says the wacky left-wing fringe of the Democrat Party). “You don’t like the Dem’s Green New Deal? You think it’s certifiably crazy (which it is)?

Heading into winter 2018/2019, gas bulls believed low storage numbers + weather (hot or cold) = high natgas prices. It didn’t work out that way. Although it sounds mundane, how much natural gas in “working storage” (i.e. gas stored and available to draw upon during winter) does, or rather did, have a great deal to do with the price of natural gas. But a direct correlation between storage and price does not seem to exist any more.
