Anti-Drilling/Fossil Fuel

The fired former PA Dept. of Environmental Protection Secretary, John Quigley, is getting his quid pro quo for promoting Big Green causes while in office. The University of Pennsylvania has hired Quigley as a “Senior Fellow” (meaning he doesn’t have to do any real work) in their School of Design. His job description is forthcoming–not really important since this is payback and they don’t expect him to do anything. Although, they have asked him to do some blogging…

Pennsylvania State Rep. Greg Vitali, a far-left Democrat from the Philadelphia area, is a good soldier who knows how to take orders. When Big Green says “Salute!” Greg snaps his arm around faster than you can say “global warming.” A few weeks ago PA’s radical Secretary of the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP), John Quigley, got fired over an email he unethically sent from a private email account to his close buddies in the Big Green movement, asking them to out so-called “apostate” Democrats who refuse to support his (Quigley’s) radical, anti-drilling agenda (see Smoking Gun: Copy of the Email that Got John Quigley Fired). Apparently one of the apostates is none other than Gov. Wolf himself–according to soldier Vitali who is the designated verbal grenade thrower–tossing some pretty mean-spirited jabs in Wolf’s direction for Wolf’s willingness to accept half a loaf and adopt new drilling regulations for shale/unconventional, while letting rules for conventional drilling slide (see PA Gov Wolf “Eager” to Sign Drilling Law Forced Down His Throat). Vitali and his media enablers (StateImpact Pennsylvania, funded by taxpayer dollars) are savaging Wolf, throwing him under the bus. Not only for exempting conventional drillers from new rules, but also for Wolf’s willingness to bend and compromise with Republicans on other environmental issues. Apostate! (As Quigley calls it in his profane email.) As we previously commented, we enjoy watching the Dems eat their own…

When the disastrous Tom Wolf set up his administration upon winning the governorship, three members of his cabinet were all from the same radical, Big Green group: PennFuture. There was Wolf’s Secretary of Policy, John Hanger (now gone, supposedly to spend more time with his wife and daughter in Massachusetts); Wolf’s Secretary of the Dept. of Environmental Protection, John Quigley (fired for conspiring with Big Green groups and getting caught doing it); and Wolf’s Secretary of the Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Cindy Dunn. She’s still around, but as MDN friend Tom Shepstone writes, it’s now time to fire her too. Dunn has been caught using taxpayer money to send her staff to Big Green reeducation events–to properly indoctrinate them and send a little coin to her comrades in the movement…
