Catholic Nun Shows How to Treat Eco “Protester” – Rugby Tackle!
We got quite a charge out of this story. It seems the oil and gas industry in building new pipelines isn’t the only group that has grown weary of so-called environmental activists — those who break the law and trespass to block new construction. A group of nuns in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier in southern France has been trying to build a new facility that will seat 3,500 people (in a small town with 400 people) since 2018. So-called environmentalists have tried their best to block the project, claiming certain endangered species will be sacrificed in the process. Construction of the project recently restarted, so enviros tried trespassing on the property to block construction. One enviro-jerk tried it, and he got tackled (yes, tackled) to the ground by a nun!

A long-running lawsuit filed by Big Green groups using (abusing) a small group of uppity Virginia landowners argues the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had no right to delegate authority to Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to use eminent domain to cross land, including the land owned by the small group of uppity landowners in Virginia. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court made the mistake of keeping the lawsuit alive, remanding it to a lower court (see
Two radical Big Green groups have brazenly announced they are spending more than a quarter of a million dollars in an attempt to help buy an open seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Conservation Voters of PA Victory Fund, in partnership with Earthjustice Action, are attempting to convince Pennsylvanians who are inclined to believe Big Green clap-trap that they should vote for the far-left candidate Dan McCaffery (Democrat) in this November’s contest for the PA Supreme Court. Why? Because McCaffery is in the back pocket of the environmental lobby. He’ll vote any way they tell him to.
In May, the PHMSA issued a proposed new rule that would slap onerous and costly new requirements on pretty much all natural gas pipelines in the country, including 2.7 million miles of gas transmission, distribution, and gathering pipelines; 400+ underground natural gas storage facilities; and 165 liquefied natural gas facilities (see
On Monday, MDN alerted you that Shell’s new CEO, Wael Sawan, would address the entire company (yesterday) in an attempt to talk some of the Millennial snowflakes that work for him off the climate change ledge (see
The radical left has successfully funneled foreign money (from Russia and China) to Big Green groups that hire lawyers to file a blizzard of lawsuits against oil and gas pipeline projects, blocking those projects. That strategy has worked so well that the radical left has turned its attention to a new target (same tactic but new target): LNG export facilities. The first stage in a new war is to “soften the target” with aerial bombing. In this case, the bombings are the lies coming from paid Big Green shills like Bill McKibben. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is expected to approve (soon) Venture Global’s CP2 LNG terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. In a Tuesday conference call with reporters, McKibben (being paid by Big Green) let loose with a volley of lie bombs, calling the project an “enormous carbon and methane bomb” that will further drive climate change. He also called it “an inflation machine” because exporting gas will (goes the lie) raise prices here at home.
Haters gonna hate (shake it off, shake it off). We learned that from philosophical genius and pop culture guru Taylor Swift. “Hate” perfectly describes the radicalized left in this country that refuses to admit the reality and truth that 95% of all hydrogen today comes from cracking natural gas. In the future, that percentage is likely to remain about the same. Of the seven projects the Bidenistas awarded $7 billion to last Friday in the Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games, four of the seven in whole or in part will use natural gas as their feedstock to create hydrogen (see 
Since work resumed in midsummer, 92 stream crossings had been completed through Oct. 1 for the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project, according to MVP spokeswoman Natalie Cox. About 330 crossings remain. Can the company realistically complete the rest of the work and get the pipeline operational by Dec. 31 (less than three months away)? That’s the multi-billion-dollar question. Some 4,200 construction workers are actively working on getting it done. It doesn’t help that highly organized “protests” are being inflicted on the project by Big Green-backed groups like Appalachians Against Pipeline.
Emily Satterwhite, who teaches Appalachian studies at Virginia Tech and has been engaged in illegal activities against the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) going back more than five years (
Shell’s new CEO, Wael Sawan, is capable of rational thought, unlike his predecessor, Ben van Beurden. Previous CEO van Beurden had set the company on the suicidal path of reducing oil and gas drilling in favor of investing in renewable energy. It turns out that’s not making any money for the company. So at an investor meeting in June, Sawan unveiled a new strategy — back to more drilling for oil and gas and less dithering with renewables (see
Amid the good news today of court and legislative victories for pipeline projects that will flow more Marcellus/Utica molecules, we have the sad news that Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) has, after more than five years of trying, pulled the plug on a project to build a second power plant next door to an existing power plant in Woodbridge, NJ. Eco-narcissists are rejoicing that NJ residents will go without power during extreme weather events and on the hottest and coldest days of the year. Nice folks, those people who “care” so much about the climate (but don’t give a fig about people).
In May, MDN brought you the sad news that New York State has fallen and is now under a Communist dictatorship, with the freedom to choose energy sources now gone (see
The left always twists language in its attempt to push its ideology and agenda — even in Christianity. The Pennsylvania-based Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), during its 15-year history, has supported every far-left environmental regulation proposed by the Democrat Party and has criticized every conservative, Republican energy plan that allows for fossil energy to flourish in the Keystone State. That’s been our observation. They call themselves “Evangelical,” which is supposed to mean sticking to the teachings of the Gospel of Christ. Somehow, they twist the word Evangelical into worshiping the mythology of man-made catastrophic global warming. They claim it is “creation care” to aggressively address global warming using anti-capitalist Marxist political ideology, like supporting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), an onerous carbon tax aimed at killing off gas-fired power plants.
