Sad Day: NY Assassinates Another Williams Pipeline Project – NESE
We’re sad but not surprised. The last time we reported on Williams’ Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) Project slated for New York was last June when Williams asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a time extension to build it (see Williams Asks FERC for 3 Yr Extension to Complete NY-NJ NESE Pipe). NESE is meant to increase pipeline capacity and flows heading into northeastern markets. Both New York and New Jersey, where portions of the project would be built, pushed back against the project, causing Williams to seek time extensions with FERC. Williams has officially given up on the project and is throwing in the towel. New York just assassinated yet another pipeline project.

Dominion Energy wants to build a liquified natural gas (LNG) storage facility in Person County, North Carolina, to enhance natural gas service reliability for residential and business customers in the growing region (see 
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is the sixth-largest power supplier and the largest public utility in the country. In 2021, MDN told you that TVA is spending over $1 billion to replace six coal-fired plants with natgas-fired turbines (see 
When the Bidenistas announced a $750 million “investment” of taxpayer money would flow to the Philadelphia region (actually Delaware and New Jersey, and a little bit of Philly) for a “green” hydrogen hub, wackadoodle antis pitched a fit (see 
Greg Wrightstone, a Pennsylvania native, is a geologist, the executive director of the CO2 Coalition, and an author. Wrightstone recently published an article detailing how Pennsylvania’s environment is not in the state of crisis that alarmists say it is. He implores Gov. Josh Shapiro to get his head out of his…mental morass…and stop worrying about mythical catastrophic global warming. Overall, the weather has been getting better and agricultural production is up in Pennsylvania. Shapiro needs to drop the doom and gloom routine.
First, the radicals of the Biden administration came for your natural gas stoves (see 
A week (nay, a day!) doesn’t go by that the Biden administration and one of the many executive agencies it oversees (EPA, DOE, PHMSA, DOT, FERC, etc.) issues a new “environmental” regulation. As we write about in a companion story today, just yesterday, the Bidenistas of the Dept. of Energy released a new final regulation yesterday controlling your what type of water heater you can buy, hoping to force you to buy a heat pump water heater (see Bidenistas Regulate Gas Stoves Furnaces, and Now, Water Heaters). Why the sudden flurry of new regulations coming from the alphabet soup of federal agencies? Because, says a card-carrying leftist, to “safeguard” environmental policies against an eventual Trump takeover next year.
As we told you earlier this month, the radicals who run the New York Dept. of Environmental Conservation (DEC) are gearing up to block the Iroquois Gas Transmission system from completing its Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project (see 
The Bidenistas attacked coal and gas-fired power plants yesterday, threatening to destabilize the existing electric power grid. Under 1,020 pages of new regulations, which will go into effect this year, all coal-fired plants that are slated to remain operational in the long term and all 
The left is nothing if not predictable. It always has been, and always will be. If they can’t win you over to their bankrupt philosophies with flowery persuasion, they’ll try bribery. If bribery doesn’t work, they will try bullying. And if bullying doesn’t work, they will use force. The left is attempting to control all of humankind by screaming “global warming,” claiming that mankind is causing it. Giving in to the catastrophic global warming lie gives the left the power to control you in every aspect of your life: what type of energy you use, whether you can even use energy, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and even what you can and cannot think. That’s their aim. So it will come as no surprise that the left, now at the end of their proverbial rope in trying to convince you of a climate emergency (and having failed), is now considering making “the destruction of nature” a crime, called ecocide, punishable by fines and/or jail. Global elites are seriously considering it.
In 2018, Equitrans Midstream, the builder of the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), proposed to extend MVP (when it’s done) by an extra 75 miles from the current terminus in Pittsylvania County, VA, to Alamance County, NC, to provide natural gas for heating and electric generation. The 75-mile extension is called MVP Southgate. Last year, Equitrans asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to extend Southgate’s project timeline an extra three years. FERC agreed in December (see 
Yesterday, we brought you the great news that Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), the 303-mile, 2.0 Bcf/d pipeline from Wetzel County, WV, to Pittsylvania County, VA, is essentially done (see 
As we outline today in another post, the PJM electric grid, which covers 13 states including Pennsylvania, reports emissions of all the nasty things (carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide) have decreased radically thanks to the change from coal-fired power to natural gas-fired power (see Marcellus Fracked Gas Leads to Record Low Emissions in PJM Grid). We also report today that in 2023, the country as a whole increased its usage of natural gas specifically because the country (including the M-U) is adding more low-carbon gas-fired power plants (see NatGas Grew Its Share of Electric Power 7% in 2023, New Record High). So what does the “brilliant” Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, do? He signs up PA government agencies (sentences them) to use unreliable solar energy.
Isn’t it interesting how the devil continues to use the same tactics he has used since the very beginning of time? Lucifer (the Center for Climate Integrity, or CCI) is whispering lies to Eve (the Allegheny County Council) located in the Garden of Eden (Pittsburgh region, the unofficial headquarters of the Marcellus/Utica shale), enticing Eve to bite the fruit (launch a lawsuit against Big Oil & Gas companies), promising she’ll have more money than God if she sues and wins. Lucifer always leads with a lie. The end result is always the same — death. In this case, the death of Pittsburgh as the headquarters of the Marcellus/Utica. Will Eve do it this time? Or resist?
Today is the annual day when environmental wackos demand fealty to Mother Earth. You WILL bow down and worship the creation (instead of the Creator) or risk being excommunicated from polite company. We thumb our noses at Earth Day worshipers and declare our love for the miracle of fossil energy on this Earth Day. We invite you to join us in celebrating the greatest invention of mankind–fossil fuels!
