EQT CEO Says M-U Could Alleviate Europe’s Gas Situation, Except…
EQT CEO Toby Rice laid the blame for the developing world energy crisis, particularly Europe’s lack of access to natural gas, at the feet of radical environmentalists. If not for the radicals and their constant frivolous lawsuits blocking pipelines and LNG export facilities, such infrastructure would already have been built and would be providing abundant, cheap, clean-burning Marcellus/Utica natural gas to other regions of the U.S. and to Europe.

Last week we told you about the uber-sleazy Attorney General in Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, handing down an indictment with 48 counts against Energy Transfer over (mostly) drilling mud spills–accidents that were previously addressed and handled by the state Dept. of Environmental Protection (see 
Looks like the union bosses, who never suffer as the rank and file do, have been bought off by a band of sleazy Democrats in Congress. A group of Dem Senators, including the bumbling Sen. Bob Casey from Pennsylvania and the shameful Sherrod Brown from Ohio, have introduced a bill laughingly called the “American Energy Worker Opportunity Act” to substitute low-wage government welfare for high-paying jobs in the fossil fuel industry. Metaphorically the bill says “Here’s a Yugo to replace your Chevy Tahoe, now sit down, shut up, and be happy with it–because your sacrifice saves the planet.” Will rank and file union members actually fall for it? Will they trade $40/hour jobs in the oil and gas industry for minimum wage jobs installing solar panels plus food stamps? That’s the deal on offer from the Dems.
You could see it coming for the past year or more. Free speech is under attack in the United State. The Marxists at Google, Inc. are now full-on, anti-First Amendment. There is no free speech in the Googleverse. Yesterday Google announced a new policy that disallows (turns off) advertisers, publishers, and YouTube creators’ ability to monetize content that denies the existence of climate change. Even if you supply data as proof of your view (see 
Yesterday as Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro falsely accused Energy Transfer (ET) of “crimes” while building the Mariner East 2 (ME2) pipeline, another bit of news about ME2 played out in the state’s court system. The PA Supreme Court agreed to hear a case in which several Big Green groups and a long-time anti-fossil fueler are demanding ET pay them back for legal fees in a lawsuit initiated by them against ET, a lawsuit they ultimately lost. Talk about arrogant.
On Monday the Pennsylvania Senate Community, Economic & Recreational Development Committee together with the Senate Environmental Resources & Energy Committee held a joint hearing on consumer and economic impacts of failing to invest in Pennsylvania’s natural gas infrastructure. Strong views were aired. State Sen. John Yudichak, chairman of the Economic Development Committee shared a startling and disturbing fact…
In October 2020 the Sisters of the Corn (our name for a group of leftist nuns in Lancaster County, PA) filed yet another frivolous lawsuit against Williams over a pipeline that crosses their land–a pipeline (Atlantic Sunrise) that has been up and running for years (see 
Just two weeks ago MDN told you that Robinson Power Company LLC planned to resume construction of the Beech Hollow Power Plant in Robinson Township (Washington County), PA, a 1,000-megawatt Marcellus-fired project (see 
The American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC), which represents major oil and gas companies across the country, including many of the top producers in the Marcellus/Utica, is sounding the alarm that Joe Biden’s massive multi-trillion dollar reconciliation bill will destroy 90,000 jobs in the O&G industry and trim $9 billion out of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Democrat Party aims to destroy fossil fuels and the $3.5 trillion (or $1 trillion or whatever it ends up being) so-called reconciliation bill is designed to do just that.
For years anti-fossil fuelers have sought to make confidential safety information about the Mariner East 2 (ME2) pipeline public. Specifically, they want to reveal “blast radius” information in hopes of inflaming opposition against the pipeline in their near-religious effort to get the pipeline permanently shut down (see 
States often get excited when the federal government deigns to hand out taxpayer money in dribs and drabs, a billion here and a billion there. Yet the best source of money to pump into an economy is private funds, invested by private companies. Private investment 
Yesterday we told you that a program would air last night on the Fox Business channel featuring Cameron Energy, a conventional oil driller in western Pennsylvania (see 
Spoiled rotten kids who never receive an occasional spank spank when they throw a temper tantrum while growing up, grow up to be spoiled rotten young adults. That’s what we’re seeing at the overpriced Ohio State University (OSU) where a group of petulant students is demanding the university stop construction work on a combined heat and power plant (CHP) project in the next 72 hours, or else…
What will happen to the United States if it embarks on sleepy Joe Biden’s “vision” for dumping fossil fuels via regulation and over taxation and instead turns to so-called renewable sources of energy, all in a bid to keep Mom Earth from supposedly toasting? We know what will happen. It’s already happening in the United Kingdom. We have a perfect preview of what will hit us if we adopt the same policies the UK and Europe have adopted: electricity prices out of sight, shortages of natural gas, blackouts and brownouts, high unemployment, and an economy in the crapper.
