NFE Caves to Radicals, “Pulls the Plug” on Wyalusing, PA LNG Plant
It’s always a sad day when radical Big Green groups win a victory over American energy. Such has happened with the New Fortress Energy (NFE) LNG plant proposed for Wyalusing in Bradford County, PA. Three Big Green groups challenged an extension for a permit previously issued for a new liquefaction facility proposed by NFE located in northeastern PA. NFE has caved and agreed that should it proceed with the project, it will need to file all over again and get a new permit–which doesn’t look likely.

One year ago, in March 2021, Eureka Resources announced plans to build a Marcellus Shale wastewater treatment facility in Dimock (Susquehanna County), Pennsylvania (see 
Drillers have their certification schemes to prove the natural gas they extract is “responsible”–meaning most if not all of the methane doesn’t leak as it’s extracted (see 
Since the beginning of Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine, we’ve read a number of articles about how American energy can reduce the impact of Putin’s war by supplying Europe with oil and natural gas. However, one such article appearing on Fox Business stands above all the rest. It’s well written and makes a strong case that Pennsylvania, specifically, has a critical role to play in helping to defeat Putin’s war on Ukraine. That role is ramping up Marcellus Shale gas production.
You can’t quantify it. Heck, you can’t even actually prove it’s happening. But the U.S. Securities and 
William S. Scherman worked as general counsel (the head lawyer) for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) from 1990-1993, during the presidency of George H.W. Bush (the elder Bush). Scherman worked in FERC when Iraq invaded Kuwait. President Bush wanted options from FERC, asap, about what the agency could do to help alleviate an energy crisis being caused by madman Saddam Hussein. Sound familiar with what’s happening today? Back then FERC went on a “wartime footing” and relaxed rules that restricted the output of traditional and alternative electric generators and granted special permission for natural gas to be produced and transported flexibly and freely nationwide. Scherman says it’s time for FERC to go on wartime footing again.
