CELDF, CROW Trying to Bestow Ohio River Watershed with Human Rights
The Pennsylvania-based Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), along with Citizens for Rights of the Ohio River Watershed (CROW), are trying to gather enough signatures from Cincinnati residents to put a measure on a city ballot that would create a so-called Bill of Rights (i.e. bestow human rights) for the Ohio River and its watershed. We wonder what the Ohio River “thinks” about that! This isn’t the first time the radicalized CELDF has tried this stunt in Ohio (see Little Mahoning Watershed to Testify in Court Case (??)).

CNX Resources held its annual meeting yesterday, which lasted all of 13 minutes. As we previously reported, one of CNX’s shareholders, a hotel owner from California (Jon Handerly), sought to force CNX to issue annual reports about the company’s efforts to comply with the so-called Paris goals of lower carbon dioxide emissions (see
The proxy firm hired by California hotel owner Jon Handerly is accusing CNX Resources of lying about its attempt to silence CNX CEO Nick DeIuliis. Handerly, using Proxy Impact, is attempting to get CNX shareholders to pass a proposal requiring the company to file annual reports on how the company measures up to the cockamamie “Paris goals” of reducing carbon dioxide emissions (see
Two days ago, we brought you the very sad news that New York State has fallen and is now under a Communist dictatorship (see 
Rational thought was purged from the radicalized left long ago. Still, it’s worth mentioning from time to time just how illogical and irrational the “environmental” left has become in its thinking and pronouncements. For example, extremely combustible hydrogen emits NO carbon dioxide when burned. It simply turns into water. So you might think replacing natural gas with hydrogen would be a dream come true for anti-fossil fuel zealots. But you would be wrong. Antis HATE hydrogen energy and are now actively working to defeat it even as they work to defeat natural gas. Why?
The left has infected and corrupted hard science, like math, chemistry, biology, and geology. Even the scientific method is no longer used by the very organization that is supposed to promote real (hard) science: the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA). Members of the 
The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), which treats the 17 counties in Pennsylvania under its jurisdiction as a fiefdom, has colluded with the leftists of the Big Green group Damascus Citizens for Sustainability to “settle” a lawsuit brought by the group against DRBC “forcing” the DRBC to further restrict and ban wastewater from conventional wells from being spread on roadways (dirt roads) in the 17 PA counties located behind the Iron Curtain of the DRBC.
Last summer Pennsylvania House Bill (HB) 2644 was passed into law, becoming Act 96 of 2022 (see
To store carbon dioxide (CO2) underground, you need a Class VI CO2 injection well. Currently, the federal EPA is the primary regulator (has “primacy”) in regulating Class VI wells in all but two states (neither of which is a Marcellus/Utica state). PA and other oil and gas states are seeking to become the lead regulator for Class VI CO2 wells, which we explained in a post in March (see
As we have said many times, if we could have anyone else’s brain but our own, it would be Tom Shepstone’s. He is brilliant. Tom wrote a post on his
Earlier this month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced new proposed federal vehicle emissions standards that will force Americans to give up driving gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles and instead switch to electric vehicles (see
When we saw the headline “Environmental Bootleggers and Baptists Fleece Consumers,” we just couldn’t resist. An article in RealClearEnergy written by Gordon Tomb, a Senior Fellow with the Commonwealth Foundation, a Pennsylvania-based free-market think tank, compares an interesting time in our history with what is happening today. Once upon a time, Baptists advocated for a ban on alcohol sales Sundays. They were supported by…Bootleggers! Take about strange bedfellows! Today, the Baptists are environmentalists who insist we must dump fossil energy in order to save the planet (definite religious overtones in the environmental movement). And the Bootleggers are…
