    Dominion Energy, National Grid Said to be Shopping Northeast Pipes

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    The left’s insane push to ban the use of all fossil energy, including natural gas, is beginning to bear fruit with large utility companies. Dominion and National Grid–huge electric and gas companies providing service to millions of customers–are rumored to be shopping some of their natural gas pipeline networks. So says the venerable Wall Street Journal. The reason? They believe the end of providing natural gas to customers is now on the horizon, and they want to dump their gas pipeline assets now, while those assets will still fetch big money.

    Radicals Sue to Block Ohio Law re Drilling Under State Land

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    In January, Ohio House Bill (HB) 507 became law with the signature of Gov. Mike DeWine (see OH Gov. Signs Bill Expanding Drilling in State Parks, NatGas “Green”). The new law allows shale drilling under (but not on top of) Ohio state-owned land. In fact, it encourages (pushes for) more drilling under state-owned land. Predictably, the left has attacked the bill (see Cleveland Plain Dealer Attacks OH Law re Drilling Under State Land). Four leftwing “environmental” groups–Ohio Environmental Council, Ohio Valley Allies, Buckeye Environmental Network, and Sierra Club–filed a lawsuit last week hoping to overturn the law.

    Nacero Pivots – PA Marcellus GTL Plant to Produce Jet Fuel not Gas

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    Two weeks ago, MDN did something we don’t often do: We broke news, providing an exclusive that Naceo’s plan to build a $6 billion gas-to-liquids (GTL) refinery on the site of a former coal mine in Newport Township and Nanticoke in Luzerne County, PA, is still alive and active (see Nacero Plan for Northeast PA Marcellus-to-Liquids Plant Still Alive). Must be our story prompted local media in Luzerne County to do some real reporting. In a follow-up, a local newspaper reports while Nacero still wants to build the facility (confirming our news), but that the type of facility it wants to build has now changed.

    Grant Twp Asks PA Supreme Court to Ban Injection Wells

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    Since 2015 we’ve reported on the case of Grant Township (Indiana County, PA), a town that passed an ordinance cooked up by the radical Big Green group Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) to try and block a state-approved injection well proposed by Pennsylvania General Energy (see our Grant Township articles here). There have been number of legal twists and turns–with Grant losing every single time. In a Hail Mary move, the township (and its CELDF-paid attorneys) appealed a Commonwealth Court decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The new (and good) news is that the state Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) is still fighting Grant’s illegal attempt to regulate oil and gas within the township.

    PA House Bill 170 Kills New Marcellus Drilling Using Setbacks

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023
    Danielle Friel Otten

    Danielle Friel Otten, a radical Democrat representing part of Chester County in the Pennsylvania House (since 2019), is a committed anti-fracker. She ran her campaign on a pledge to ban all fracking in the state (see 15 Candidates Running for PA House/Senate Want to Ban Fracking). Otten recently introduced House Bill (HB) 170 to “expand safety zones around oil and gas wells and related natural gas infrastructure.” What a joke! In plain language, the bill increases setback distances from 500 feet of a shale well to 2,500 feet–effectively killing any new shale well drilling anywhere in the state.

    Taxpayer $ from Biden Bills Funneled to Anti-Shale Groups in PA

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    As we reported back in February, the Biden EPA plans to allow private citizens to police oil wells and pipelines for methane leaks–meaning Big Green groups actually do the “policing” (see Biden EPA Program Empowers Anti Groups to be Methane Snitches). Money is now beginning to flow to PA-based anti-fossil fuel groups under the guise of testing and monitoring air quality, to “protect” local residents. It’s a scam. Big Money is flowing from Big Government into the coffers of Big Green. And you, dear taxpayer, are paying the bill.

    Eco-Terrorists Release Film Detailing “How to Blow Up a Pipeline”

    April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    It’s not often we’re rendered speechless, but this is one of those times. To say we are incensed, that we are deeply concerned, outraged, etc. doesn’t begin to cover it. Last Friday, the film “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” a screen adaption of Eco-Marxist Andreas Malm’s book of the same title, was released. The film, which is a fictional story, justifies eco-terrorism. It encourages people to become terrorists and blow up fossil fuel pipelines.
