FERC’s Dick Glick Targets NatGas Pipes Using Eminent Domain
Newly appointed Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman Richard “Dick” Glick is already targeting natural gas pipelines–to keep them from getting built. Since his appointment by Donald Trump, Glick, a Chuck Schumer Democrat, has voted against every single new natural gas pipeline project using the excuse of man-made global warming. Now he’s using the tactic of pitting landowners against pipeline projects over the issue of using eminent domain.

In 2016 a group of business and government leaders from Ohio and West Virginia in the Mid-Ohio Valley banded together to form an economic development group called Shale Crescent USA, or SCUSA (see 
On Friday MDN told you that EQT has partnered with a company called Project Canary (used to be Independent Energy Standards Corporation) to use the TrustWell™ Responsible Gas Program to monitor two EQT gas wells to prove to the world (in particular the global warming lunatics) that EQT’s gas is good and green (see 
Forget about the great American road trip. You won’t be able to charge your electric vehicle quickly enough or (in some cases) at all. Prepare to have your views of the countryside ruined by solar panels and windmills on just about every available hill, mountain, and ridgeline. Oh yeah, and get used to being a vegetarian too, because cows and pigs and chickens burp and fart too much methane and all that animal methane is toasting mom earth. You may think we’re joking, just poking fun at environmentalist wackos. Just read the AP article below and give us your interpretation of what those who now occupy D.C. have planned for YOU–citizens of the US of A.
It’s been an eventful (and not in a good way) week and a half since Joe Biden seized control of the White House. Or more properly, since the radicalized left took control and began ramming anti-fossil fuel Executive Orders down old senile Joe’s throat. He just keeps signing, admitting he doesn’t even know what’s he signing (
Psst. Don’t tell anti-fossil fuel nutjobs this, but Joe Biden’s “ban” on issuing new permits for drilling on federal and offshore land has loopholes. Since Biden seized power and began occupying the White House, HIS administration (not Trump’s) has issued “at least” 31 new drilling permits for federal and/or offshore drilling. It seems there are big loopholes in Biden’s federal permit moratorium that most news organizations are not reporting.
Now that Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) has outsmarted radicalized environmental groups like the odious Sierra Club by changing the type of permit they will use to finish the 92% complete project (see today’s lead story), antis are hoping to continue blocking the project by convincing the Democrat judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a FERC order from last December that allows MVP to resume certain portions of construction (see 
President Biden is expected to sign a new Executive Order today that turns a 60-day pause on issuing new oil and gas leases on federal lands into an ongoing moratorium for as long as he’s in office. According to a Wall Street Journal article, “Many of his [Biden’s] actions have been expected, but the administration’s speed and willingness to target the industry have surprised its leaders and analysts.” Really? Nobody who reads MDN should be surprised. We predicted these attacks. Biden, whether willingly or by reason of mental defect, has been co-opted by environmental radicals within his own party.
A day literally does not go by that we don’t read about yet another city, or even state, declaring that it will ban natural gas from new-build structures like homes and businesses. It’s bloody insane! And yet it’s happening more and more. We spotted an article written by a union member in California who says while “climate change” is “real” and we need to “do something” about it (we disagree), he says we need to “do something that works for all of us, not just the coastal elite and the wealthy.” The union member goes on to outline the great harm being done to the poor by these silly, virtue-signaling bans.
Two of New York City’s five retirement pension funds, representing 70% of the $239.8 billion retirement system, announced yesterday they will divest their portfolios of all investments in fossil fuel companies. The two pension funds together own roughly $4 billion worth of fossil fuel securities. The divestment will take place gradually, over the next five years. A third pension fund with $7.8 billion under management is expected to do the same, soon.
Last fall Mountaineer NGL Storage, a $500 million project in Monroe County to build underground storage for ethane and other NGLs, asked Ohio to cancel a key permit for the project (see 
On Joe Biden’s very first day of occupying the White House, he signed an executive order revoking a permit for the $9 billion Keystone XL oil pipeline that would cross from Canada into the U.S. According to the leftists at Bloomberg (giddy with excitement), Biden’s move to cancel Keystone “is the clearest sign yet that constructing a major new pipeline in the U.S. has become an impossible task.” The CEO for pipeline giant Williams, Alan Armstrong, agrees.
Last August we told you about the politically-motivated prosecution (by the Chester County, PA District Attorney’s office) of two men connected to a security firm providing off-duty constables to protect Mariner East 2 (ME2) pipeline construction sites (see
