PA Senators Push DCNR to Lease More State Land for Drilling
It seems like every March we write about the same topic when budget hearings begin in Pennsylvania. That topic is a recommendation by Republican State Senators, including Gene Yaw (from Lycoming County, PA), recommending to the Democrat administration they should seek to lease more state-owned land for shale drilling (see PA Senators Ask DCNR to Lease Extra 22K Ac. State Land for Drilling and Sen. Yaw Tells DCNR to Lease More PA State Land for Gas Drilling). And every year, the state Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary, Cindy Adams Dunn (former president of the radical PennFuture organization), resists and refuses to expand drilling under state land (see PA DCNR Secretary Chilly to Suggestion of More State Forest Drilling).

A Boston-based fossil fuel hating group called HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) paid big money for a “research report” written by a card-carrying “research activist” targeting Philadelphia Gas Works’ (PGW) plan to upgrade its aging and (in some cases) failing 6,000 miles of natural gas pipelines that make life possible in the City of Brotherly Love.

Energy in Depth (EID) is publishing a series that exposes the activist group Center for Climate Integrity (CCI) and its extensive actions behind the scenes in New Jersey municipalities to recruit, support, and initiate climate litigation.

The nightmare we can’t wake up from, called New York State, keeps getting darker and worse. In January, Hochul proposed banning the sale of all new natural gas appliances across the state, along with an outright ban on hooking up new homes and businesses to gas, by 2030 (see 
Is Kamala Harris the dumbest Vice President of the United States…ever? No. We think that dubious distinction goes to her boss, Joe Biden, when he was VP under Lord Obama. But she ranks right up there near Biden as the dumbest. Do you ever listen to any of her talks? Or her cackling laugh? Talk about nails on a chalkboard! One of cackling Kamala’s latest pronouncements is that there is a “mental health crisis” because of the climate. This time we tend to agree with her. There IS a mental health crisis–abject fear and panic–because of people like Harris screaming lies that the planet is about to end unless we dump fossil energy.
