Kamala Harris’ Position Supporting Nat’l Frack Ban Roils PA Voters
Here is an incontrovertible fact: In a CNN town hall debate during the 2019 presidential primary, Kamala Harris said, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” She hasn’t changed her position in the last five years. And that’s a problem for Harris in “swing” states like Pennsylvania. She said she would ban it from “day one” on federal lands and then work her way around to private lands later. The left always uses incrementalism. There is no question that Harris is left of Joe Biden if such a thing is possible. We think it’s quite possible Harris will try to recruit PA’s dud, do-nothing Governor, Josh Shapiro, to run with her as her VP candidate to try and persuade PA voters that her radical position supporting a fracking ban shouldn’t prevent them from voting for her. Harris figures that if Shapiro is on the ticket, it will assuage voters’ concerns. Don’t fall for it. If Harris loses PA, she loses the election.

Environmental radicals have struck out a second time, and they’re pretty bitter about it. We’re talking about Senate Bill (SB) 831, the Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Act. Last week, a strong bipartisan majority in the PA legislature ignored the radicals that had asked Democrat legislators to block the bill, passing the bill and sending it to the governor’s desk (see 
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That appears to be the philosophy of a group of radicalized “environmental” groups attempting to pressure Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to veto a new bill sitting on his desk, Senate Bill (SB) 831, the Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Act. Last week, a strong bipartisan majority in the PA legislature ignored the same group that had asked Democrat legislators to block the bill (see 
Last fall, MDN shared the sad news that Pennsylvania State Rep. Charity Grimm Krupa (Republican In Name Only from Fayette County) had turned against the Marcellus industry (see 
The left sees its hegemony over political power slipping away along with the fading memory of Joe Biden. Biden was their guy as long as he could deliver a win and keep them in power. If he can’t win, the left will turn on him and eat him alive. While it’s too soon to declare the November election over, it’s clear that the Democrat Party is in disarray and believes it will likely lose. There is a fracture running through the Dems, with half wanting to ride the nearly-dead horse of Biden to “victory” (or defeat) in November and the other half advocating to chuck Biden over the side now. The divide is clearly seen in the radicalized environmental movement, where Biden has suddenly lost the support of some big names in the Big Green movement.
Anti-fossil fuel zealots from the Chesapeake Climate Action Network and from an Indian tribe as far away as Nova Scotia (Canada) are opposing a $12 billion plan by Washington Gas to fix leaky (very old) natural gas pipelines that cross under the streets of our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. An article from the Big Green propaganda outfit Public News Service (PNS) opens with this line: “Washington D.C. residents are pushing back on a plan to build out existing fossil fuel infrastructure.” There’s no mention of how many D.C. residents object. And as if there aren’t enough residents who object, the article quotes an anti from Nova Scotia! What do antis from N.S. have to do with this?
CleanTechnica, a leftist pseudo-science website that caters to mind-numbed robots, is warning its readers that Donald Trump “intends to assemble an army to deconstruct the administrative state & the environment.” Cue screaming. The article details the horrors of a second Trump administration and what it will mean to the environment. Actually, the concern is what it will mean to the parasites who suck public money for scam renewable energy projects. The article is equal parts funny and accurate. It accurately outlines the approach Trump will take to dismantle the administrative state that currently exists and is completely controlled by leftist Democrats. What’s funny is that we agree! The article, while horrifying for leftists, brings us great hope and comfort that we can rescue this country from the disaster it has become under the left.
Pennsylvania Democrat leftists face a conundrum. Do they listen to one set of environmentalist wackos, including the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, Environmental Defense Fund, Nature Conservancy, and Clean Air Task Force? Or do they listen to a different set (on the same ideological side of the aisle), including Better Path Coalition, 350 Pittsburgh, 412 Justice, the Center for Coalfield Justice, and the Clean Air Council? Two weeks ago, the first set of wackos threw their support behind PA Senate Bill (SB) 831, the Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Act (see 
Climate hucksters like the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) peddle the false narrative that Big Oil is spending mountains of money to protect its filthy, polluting industry, while environmental groups (like the NRDC) that just want you to breathe clean air and drink pure water are just about flat busted. Big Oil is Goliath, and Big Green is David. The opposite is the truth. According to an analysis of IRS records, for every dollar spent by organizations and groups that support fossil energy, nearly $10 ($9.60 to be exact) is spent by Big Green groups.

Yesterday, MDN brought you the news the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a decision that overturned a 40-year-old case establishing the leftist utopian administrative state, colloquially called the Chevron deference case (see
