    Happy Earth Day! MDN Debunks Global Warming Using Actual Temp Data

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    Happy Earth Day! Yes, we are in favor of being good stewards of the planet God gave to mankind to watch over and protect–every plant, animal, and even other humans. Let’s celebrate this wonderful creation today (and the Creator Who made it). Unfortunately, today you will hear the phrase “climate change” about a bazillion times. We detest that phrase. What they really mean to say, in plain English, is “man-made, catastrophic global warming.” Today we tackle the issue of global warming and whether or not mankind’s activity of burning fossil fuels contributes to it, which is the underlying assumption in the phrase “climate change.” We use real, actual temperature data that we believe will open your eyes and hopefully open your mind and your heart on the issue of global warming.

    M-U Drillers Keep Spending Flat & Rig Counts Steady in 2021

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    Analysts with S&P Global Market Intelligence say that shale gas drillers in the Marcellus/Utica region have finally learned their lesson and are sticking to their promise to keep capital spending restrained this year–even with an increase in the price of gas. Both spending and rig counts are predicted to stay low this year as drillers work on boosting free cash flow and improving company share price.

    PA Approves Another $4.4M in Grants for Local NatGas Pipelines

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    Pennsylvania’s Pipeline Investment Program (or PIPE) issues grants covering part of the cost for building new natural gas pipelines to connect homes and businesses, typically in rural parts of the state, to homegrown Marcellus Shale gas supplies. We’ve written about many of the PIPE grant projects in the past (see our PIPE stories here). Five more PIPE grants totaling $4.4 million have just been awarded–in Adams, Indiana, Lebanon, Lycoming, and Northampton counties. That makes 35 total PIPE grants thus far.

    Antis Try to Block CT Gas-Fired Power Plant by Bullying Banks

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    Not content to rely on politicians alone like the weak-willed Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, radical anti-fossil fuel zealots recently visited a number of banks located in New Haven, CT, to pressure and bully bank management into divesting from energy projects that contribute to “greenhouse gas pollution.” In particular, the zealots want to defund a critically-needed gas-fired power plant in Killingly, CT.

    Warning: NY Democrats Plan to Hike Cost of NatGas 26% w/New Tax

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    For those of us unfortunate enough to live in New York State, we’re already screwed with a corrupt governor large and still in charge (even though his actions led to thousands of COVID deaths in nursing homes and even though he’s a sexual predator). The screwing (pun intended) continues. There are bills in both the NY Assembly and Senate that aim to increase the tax on gasoline in the state by $0.55 per gallon! In addition, the bills would increase the tax on natural gas that end users pay–those who use it to heat and cook with, residences and businesses–by an extra 26%!! Translation: Move out of NY while you still can sell your house. And don’t forget to turn the lights off when you leave.

    NY DEC Releases Plan to Kill Off What’s Left of Oil & Gas Industry

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    It’s now obvious to even the dullest person that Andrew Cuomo and his completely corrupted Dept. of Environmental Conservation has one mission in mind with respect to the state’s oil and gas industry: Kill it. It began when Cuomo first placed a moratorium, later a permanent ban on hydraulic fracturing in the state (see Cuomo PERMANENTLY Bans NY Fracking in Now-Adopted Budget). The assault on New York O&G continues with an announcement yesterday by DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos (a Rockefeller stooge) that the DEC will soon release regulations to “reduce methane emissions from oil and natural gas sector.”

    EQT Annual Meeting: ESG Top Priority for Board & Management

    April 22, 2021April 22, 2021

    EQT Corporation, the nation’s largest natural gas producer (focused 100% on the Marcellus/Utica), held its annual meeting yesterday. This meeting had a lot less drama than the meeting in 2019, just two years ago, when brothers Toby and Derek Rice successfully took over the company (see Rice Bros. Win Proxy War to Control EQT – Toby Rice New CEO). Last year’s annual meeting was held virtually. So was the meeting yesterday. The main topic was the company’s newfound ESG religion. Gimme that ESG religion…
