NY Ready to Commit Energy Suicide – Ban NatGas in New Buildings
New York’s corrupt Governor, Kathy Hochul, learned well from her mentor, sexual predator (and extremely corrupt) Gov. Andrew Cuomo, when it comes to forcing her will on the citizens of New York. Cuomo snuck a permanent fracking ban into the state budget two years ago (see Cuomo PERMANENTLY Bans NY Fracking in Now-Adopted Budget). This year Hochul is preparing to sneak in a permanent ban against connecting any new building constructed in the state to natural gas pipelines–no matter where in the state the building is located. This is the death of freedom in NY.

In March the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), corrupted by the Bidenistas, said it will begin to force all publicly traded companies to disclose their so-called greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the imaginary climate risks their businesses face (see 
We keep hearing how much Joe Biden now loves natural gas. He promised Europe the U.S. would send the Continent an extra 15 bcm (billion cubic meters) of natural gas this year (see 
Yesterday the Pennsylvania State Senate failed to override a veto of Gov. Tom Wolf of a resolution that would have stopped PA from entering the so-called Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), an obscene carbon tax scheme. The override failed by a single vote. Wolf’s patsy, Dept. of Environmental Protection Secretary Pat McDonnell, gushed that he was “pleased” with the failure of the override. What happens now? A lawsuit lingers that can still block RGGI, but if that doesn’t work, PA residents will begin paying MUCH higher rates (a new tax) for their electricity beginning July 1st.
We keep hearing how the Bidenistas have softened their hardcore opposition to natural gas (and all fossil energy) given the war in Ukraine. We hear words mouthed by the administration, and Biden himself, that seems to indicate maybe, just maybe, the administration will stop its targeting of natural gas–at least for a while. And yet the actual actions we see coming from the administration, like the actions of the Bidenistas at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), say otherwise. Example: Biden’s FERC recently released a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Commonwealth LNG export facility located in Louisiana (full copy below). The draft EIS says the facility will have “significant impacts” on so-called “environmental justice communities.” That’s a loud and clear signal that this much-needed LNG project will have trouble getting approved by the hardcore leftists at Biden’s FERC.
You can’t escape mainstream media, and even many in the oil and gas industry, talking about hydrogen. The word is whispered in hallowed tones like a magic talisman. The “future of energy” is (shhhh) hydrogen, we are told. Even anti-fossil fuel cultists love hydrogen, albeit they are prejudiced–they only like certain colors of hydrogen (see
