EmberClear’s Cadiz, OH Gas-Fired Power Plant Project Heats Up
In September 2016, MDN reported that EmberClear has plans to fund and build a new $900 million electric generating plant in Harrison County, OH (see $900M Utica Gas-Fired Electric Plant Coming to Harrison County, OH). The Harrison Energy Center project was supposed to begin construction by the end of 2018, which didn’t happen. Then it was supposed to begin construction by mid-2019 (see EmberClear’s Cadiz, OH Gas-Fired Power Plant Slightly Delayed). That didn’t happen either. We now have a new timeline and important news about the project.

The West Virginia legislature kicked off its 2020 60-day session yesterday with a bang–at least for the shale energy industry. House Speaker Roger Hanshaw introduced House Bill 4001, aimed at reassuring China it’s OK to begin investing some of that $84 billion they promised to invest in WV’s shale and downstream sector. The bill also would help fund the Appalachian NGL Storage and Trading Hub project and other big petrochemical projects (maybe even a cracker plant!).
We spotted a newly published study (published just yesterday) in Scientific Reports, an online open access scientific mega journal published by Nature, that looks at a new and better way to evaluate shale oil and gas reserves–the amount of stuff in the ground. What’s special about this report, written by researchers at the University of Utah, is that it specifically used the Marcellus Shale as its test subject.
Ever hear of something called the oil-to-gas price ratio? It’s a simple concept. You take the price at which oil is trading per barrel, and compare it to the price of natural gas trading per MMBtu (million BTUs). What can that ratio tell us about the natural gas market in general, and the Marcellus/Utica gas market in particular?
It’s not only Russia and the Ukraine attempting to interfere in U.S. elections and our system of government. It’s also a British billionaire, by the name of Chris Hohn. A blockbuster investigative report reveals millions flowing from Hohn to push American cities and counties to sue American energy companies by using the false claim they cause “climate change.” It is an outrage and it must stop.
