Faux EDF “Study” Targets Conventional Wells as Methane Leakers
The sham “environmental” group Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), a litigation factory for Big Green leftist radicals, published (bought) themselves a “study” in the journal Nature Communications attacking conventional oil and gas wells. The so-called study says older conventional oil and gas wells that produce small amounts (less than 15 barrels of oil or the equivalent amount of gas a day), which represent only 6% of America’s total oil and gas production, contribute 50% of the country’s fugitive methane emissions.

In a new attack from the Bidenistas, the haughty John F. Kerry (the definition of a D.C. swamp dweller) threatened the entire natural gas industry in an interview yesterday with his fellow lefties at Bloomberg. The uber-arrogant Kerry put the natural gas industry “on notice” that it has a maximum of 10 years to figure out how to trap every last molecule of escaping methane and every last molecule of carbon dioxide post-combustion–or the industry will suffer a total and sudden death. The political intelligentsia will demand the execution of natgas (maybe even those who extract and flow it) no later than 10 years from now. According to Kerry, this is how it works in Amerika, land of the enslaved and home of the coward.
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.
In January 2020, President Trump announced a list of proposed changes to the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in an effort to strip away some of the governmental red tape that has built up over the years like plaque in an artery, preventing important infrastructure projects like pipelines, dams, bridges, and roads from getting built (see 
The leftists who have taken over the International Energy Agency (IEA) told the world last year that new oil and gas exploration should immediately stop worldwide in order to save Planet Earth from Global Warming monsters (see 
Despots and dictators the world over are the same, whether it’s Vladimir Putin relabeling his naked aggression of outright war against Ukraine a “military operation,” or New York State’s so-called Climate Action Council relabeling natural gas as “fossil gas.” Tyrants seek to relabel those things they can’t control in an attempt to pressure, hoodwink, and manipulate the masses–to force others into doing what they (the tyrants) want done. The Communists who run NY state can’t convince the population to self-immolate by giving up the use of natural gas, so they’re changing the language, hoping to convince more people to go along with their harebrained plan to dump the use of all “fossil fuels.” The left’s plan is energy suicide and a majority of New Yorkers instinctively know it.
Although a number of publicly-traded oil and natural gas companies have gone along with so-called ESG (environmental, social, and governance) programs and have pledged to reduce their so-called carbon footprint by X percentage by Y date, apparently O&G companies are not genuflecting far enough or fast enough for Big Green Nazis like Bloomberg. The latest laughable tactic we’ve noticed is that Bloomberg has taken to carbon-shaming, you know, like fat-shaming–the use of ridicule and bullying as a pressure tactic to imply a person isn’t “enough” because of their weight (or race, or economic status, or carbon emanations). Leftists like Bloomberg “News” are so predictable–they always fall into the same tired routines. Are oil and gas companies not dancing to your tune? Use the blowtorch pulpit you have (a news service) to try and shame them into doing it. We say to Bloomberg, blow your carbon-shaming out your (ahem) Bloomberg Terminal…
Last Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court ruled that Gov. Tom Wolf’s obscene carbon tax, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), will not go into effect until “pending further order of the court” (see 
The main reason Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf wants to force his state (against the will of a majority of residents) to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a carbon tax, is that it will supposedly cut down the state’s emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is supposedly causing Mom Earth to toast (see 
Anti-fossil fuel zealots who irrationally hate all fossil energy, including natural gas, are beside themselves that three new electric power plants are planned for New Jersey. Two would use natural gas as their fuel source, while the third plant plans to use renewables of some kind. Yet antis are freaking out. Two of the planned plants would be for emergency/backup use only and will sit idle 99% of the time. Doesn’t matter: freak out. The remaining plant would produce 630 megawatts of electricity using Marcellus natgas, a relatively small plant (sitting next to an existing plant). Doesn’t matter: freak out. The solution proposed by the naysayers? Just go without electricity. Sit in the dark. Freeze in the winter and boil in the summer.
The Barack Hussein Obama administration went crazy with over-regulation in many areas. One of them was to redefine “waters of the United States” (or WOTUS) as everything down to, no exaggeration, mud puddles (see
