PA Enviro-Left’s Shrill Lies About “Addiction” to Fossil Energy
It’s been fun watching the enviro-left soil themselves over the sudden and dramatic shift in public favorable attitudes toward fossil energy. There is no disputing that if the U.S. was energy independent, as it was under Donald Trump, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine would not be having the impact on oil and gas prices that it has had. Republicans (even a few Democrats) are loudly proclaiming we need to ramp up American oil and natural gas drilling once again. This has the lefties doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to try and explain how increasing oil and gas drilling here would be a bad thing. It’s actually quite funny!

In his first two days in office, Joe Biden declared war on the oil and gas industry. One of the first things he did was to revive an interagency working group on the “social cost” of greenhouse gas emissions and directed the issuance of an “interim” cost (see 
It must be sad to live your life focusing all your energy on something you hate. You live in a prison of someone else’s making. You hand the keys of your happiness to someone else, rather than being the captain of your own destiny. Such must be the life of the Pennsylvania “Green” Party’s candidate for governor, Christina “PK Ditty” Digiulio, whose mission in life is to defeat new pipelines, like the now-completed Mariner East 2 pipeline.
Plum Boro (Allegheny County, PA) officials and environmental leftist groups (backed by Big Green foreign money) are gearing up to oppose Plum’s second wastewater injection well with smears and lies. A long-fought-over wastewater injection well in Plum finally opened for business in mid-2021, having overcome all sorts of smears and slanders and lawsuits by the enviro-left (see 
New York’s newest governor, Kathy Hochul, is following in the footsteps of her former boss, Andrew Cuomo, by pledging to block natural gas hookups for all new construction across New York State. It’s insane. Such a ban will cause even more people to leave the state (they’re already leaving in droves). And yet she and the leftist Democrats pulling her strings persist in this path of self-annihilation. Republicans in the NY State Senate have had enough and are fighting back.
Even though construction is completed for the Mariner East pipeline system, anti-fossil fuelers are still lying about the project and its status. Energy Transfer said during its recent quarterly update that Mariner East is in the process of being commissioned, i.e. tested (see 
Elsevier, a Dutch company founded in 1880, is a huge publishing and data company. Elsevier publishes over 2,000 scientific journals and thousands of science and engineering books. BIG company. Important company. Among Elsevier’s published journals are titles for climate cultists, including Lancet and Global Environmental Change. Elsevier also publishes journals for the fossil fuel industry, like Upstream Oil and Gas Technology and Journal of Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources. Climate cultists are having a hard time with the fact Elsevier is an actual business that wants to make money and doesn’t care if its journals benefit the crazies or benefit fossil energy. So the cultists are now attempting to pressure Elsevier into dumping their journals and books that “promote” or somehow “benefit” fossil energy. It’s the Attack of the Climate Clones…
Two years ago Yale University sold off its $80 million equity stake in Marcellus/Utica fracker Antero Resources. You know, Antero is an evil fossil fuel company and the woke children attending Yale demanded divestment. But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum… according to Yale University’s latest 13F form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of Dec. 31, 2021, the University owns $41 million of Antero Resources stock once again!

A former wind lobbyist and friend of Chuck Schumer, Richard “Dick” Glick, took over as chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Joe “Dementia” Biden. Glick is a radical leftist, a swamp-dwelling D.C. Democrat. Under his oversight, the five-member FERC board (three Democrats, two Republicans) voted 3-2 last week to begin using global warming factors when reviewing new natural gas pipeline projects (see 
So far two states (that we are aware of) are either threatening, or already are, removing state investments from any funds managed by BlackRock Inc. Other states are considering it. We told you about West Virginia removing its investments with BlackRock back in January (see
