Climate Nuts March Around in Circle to Oppose NJ Gas-Fired Plant
Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) currently operates a gas-fired power plant in the Keasbey section of Woodbridge, NJ. The plant currently generates power for about 700,000 homes. In 2018, CPV proposed adding a second power plant at the same location (see CPV Floats Plan for New Marcellus-Fired Power Plant in NJ). In August of last year, the green zealots of Food & Water Watch organized a small protest against the proposed second plant (see Zealots Turn Out to Protest Electric Energy in Woodbridge, NJ). Food & Water Watch organized another small protest last Saturday. Perhaps 20 people (if that many) marched in a circle–beginning and ending at Woodbridge Town Hall–to protest clean-burning, gas-fired power. Apparently, they prefer the dark and no electricity.

There is no doubt that LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports are a key and increasingly critical customer for our domestic natural gas–including gas produced in the Marcellus/Utica. The evil (and clever) minds of anti-fossil fuel zealots are always thinking up new ways to block domestic oil and gas production. Their latest strategy is to pressure (i.e., bully) Big Insurance companies into dropping insurance policies for LNG export plants. If the plants can’t get insurance to protect them against potential disasters, they can’t operate.
Cornell University professor Robert Howarth has poked his head up again to bash shale energy. This time he’s taking aim at hydrogen produced from natural gas. Howarth hates fossil fuels–all of them–including clean-burning natural gas. In March 2011, Howarth and two other Cornell profs published a peer-reviewed study in the journal Climatic Change titled, “Methane and the greenhouse-gas footprint of natural gas from shale formations” (see 
Last summer Pennsylvania House Bill (HB) 2644 was passed into law, becoming Act 96 of 2022 (see 
Olympus Energy wants to drill six wells on a single pad in rural Elizabeth Township, a borough in Allegheny County on the east bank of the Monongahela River. The pad would sit about 2,400 feet (nearly half a mile) away from Elizabeth Forward High School. Some of the parents of students, and some of the administration, pushed back against Olympus’ drilling plan, using the kiddies as an excuse (see 
An indisputable fact is that Joe Biden’s presidency has done more to damage the fossil fuel industry than any other president, including Lord Obama (and that’s saying something). Biden has been the best friend of the environmental left, like the League of Conservation Voters, Oil Change, Climate Defiance, Sierra Club, and more. Yet when Biden compromises even a little (to get more), like allowing Mountain Valley Pipeline to get completed (currently 94% done), the enviro left goes bananas. Because of a few recent decisions by Biden to support fossil energy projects, Big Green groups are threatening “direct actions” like shutting down parts of the D.C. swamp.
From the beginning of the shale revolution in Pennsylvania, State Rep. Greg Vitali (from the Philadelphia area), the current House Environmental Resources & Energy Committee Chairman, has been a shill, a mouthpiece for the rabid anti-fossil fuel lobby. Vitali no longer bothers to hide his joined-at-the-hip connection to Big Green. On full display for everyone to see is a column running in the Philadelphia Inquirer, supposedly co-authored by Vitali and Charles McPhedran, senior attorney for the left-wing Earthjustice organization. The column attacks crypto mining (Bitcoin mining) in the state, claiming it’s not “regulated” enough–by which they mean it should be blocked. Stopped. Hamstrung. Crypto mining is another term for computer server farms that use enormous amounts of electricity. Sometimes the server farms are located at remote (stranded) gas well sites where they (gasp!) burn natural gas to generate electricity. Vitali and McPhedran want to “regulate” (i.e., stop) such server farms.
It’s one thing when rich, white billionaires fund Big Green groups that attack the fossil energy industry by abusing our court system. It’s quite another thing when taxpayer money is funneled to Big Green for the same thing! Yet that is what is now happening thanks to Joe Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which passed in Congress thanks to a single U.S. Senator–Joe Manchin. The Bidenistas at the EPA are skimming MILLIONS of dollars from the IRA, funneling it to anti-fossil fuel organizations that partner with the Beyond Petrochemicals effort created by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, which in turn assaults our fossil energy companies and our regulatory system with a blizzard of lawsuits and mass-brainwashing campaigns. OUR MONEY! Going to groups working against fossil energy. God deliver us from this madness!
We have warned you, repeatedly, that environmental leftist wackos will NEVER accept fossil fuel energy under any circumstances. If you were to wave a magic wand and take away all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil energy, they would still reject it. And we have proof of our assertion. The United Nations (UN), a body governed by leftist thugs and tyrants, now says using machines to remove vast amounts of CO2 from the air and sea to fight climate change is “unproven” and contains “unknown” risks. Ergo, we shouldn’t even try it. Ergo, we must eliminate the use of all fossil fuel energy to save the planet from burning to a cinder.

Yesterday, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), an independent, nonpartisan group, named New York Governor Kathy Hochul (Democrat) its May 2023 “Porker of the Month” for signing a budget that bans gas stoves and furnaces in new residential buildings. Hochul signed a $229 billion behemoth budget bill that bans new construction from connecting to natural gas pipelines (outlawing new gas stoves and furnaces), as well as forces the shutdown of seven gas-fired peaker power plants (see 
Two weeks ago, the Bidenistas at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a hellscape of new regulations aimed at forcing coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to close (see
