Intl Energy Agency Says World Should Stop All New O&G Development
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is in somebody’s back pocket–like Saudi Arabia, or maybe some of the other OPEC members. How do we know? The IEA has just published a nonsensical “report” called “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector” (full copy below). In the report, IEA makes the preposterous claim that if the world (i.e. the U.S.) doesn’t stop all new drilling for oil and gas right now, today, the earth will toast itself into oblivion by 2050. As we so often say, follow the money.

Powerhouse consulting firm Deloitte has just published a series of studies addressing the question of whether oil and gas (and chemicals) companies should optimize and capture the remaining value from hydrocarbons (keep drilling for oil and gas), or should they “embrace the broader energy scope” and begin investing in so-called green energy? Deloitte says, “There is no easy answer to this conundrum.”
Did you know that Mom Earth is polluting…herself? Did you know that Mom Earth is responsible for her own global warming? Yeah. You see, a full 25% of all so-called fugitive methane emissions (methane that goes unfiltered up into the atmosphere) come from swamps. Or what you may call “wetlands.” And there isn’t a darned thing we mankind can do about it because, well, they’re wetlands and pristine and if you drain them, that’s an environmental crime against Mom Earth. Yet swamps are causing a big, fat global warming issue. What’s an environmentalist wacko to do?
The Enverus rig count added another 10 rigs for the week ending May 13 to hit a new post-pandemic high of 555 active rigs. Both the Marcellus and the Utica lost one rig each, ending the week at 35 for the Marcellus and 12 for the Utica. Cumulatively the M-U has 47 active rigs. The main competitor to the M-U, the Haynesville in Louisiana and Texas, lost 2 rigs and now has 51 active rigs.
Back in 2018 MDN analyzed the economic impact from just one driller (Cabot Oil & Gas) in one county (Susquehanna County, PA) and discovered Cabot had put $1.5 billion into the pockets of private landowners through signing bonuses and royalties, and had spent another $3.5 billion on drilling (over $5 billion total spent) over a 10-year period–all in Susquehanna County (see 
We are sick and tired of the Chicken Little scaremongering that comes from so-called “independent consultants” and the reports they issue for states like Pennsylvania claiming (falsely) that average temperatures in the state are set to rise by 6 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. It is a demonstrably false claim. Yet that’s what is now being reported as fact.
Somebody’s head is gonna roll at liberal Columbia University (big lib university located in the heart of New York City). Somehow the truth has just leaked out of Columbia about the necessity and benefits of natural gas pipelines and how they are helping to LOWER the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (if you happen to care about such things–which we don’t). How did this happen? Researchers who care about telling the truth and how doing so enhances one’s reputation, have authored the study “Investing in the US Natural Gas Pipeline System to Support Net-Zero Targets” (full copy below).
A new so-called study has appeared sponsored by the radicals at Heinz Endowments. It is bought-and-paid-for “research” that claims the Act 13 law passed in Pennsylvania in 2012 hasn’t done a darned thing to prevent shale wells from being drilled closer than 500 feet from houses and schools. Duke University, Harvard University, and Boston Children’s Hospital took money from Heinz and prostituted themselves, putting their names to this filthy propaganda. Heinz then instructed one of their own, StateImpact Pennsylvania (which Heinz also funds) to publish a “news story” about the study, hoping to catch the interest of leftist, lazy “reporters” (like those at Bloomberg, AP, etc.) to pick up the story and repeat it. This is how news gets manufactured in today’s world.
Recently the U.S. EIA (Energy Information Administration) predicted natural gas production in 2021 will increase, slightly, over 2020’s dismal performance (see 
Happy Earth Day! Yes, we are in favor of being good stewards of the planet God gave to mankind to watch over and protect–every plant, animal, and even other humans. Let’s celebrate this wonderful creation today (and the Creator Who made it). Unfortunately, today you will hear the phrase “climate change” about a bazillion times. We detest that phrase. What they really mean to say, in plain English, is “man-made, catastrophic global warming.” Today we tackle the issue of global warming and whether or not mankind’s activity of burning fossil fuels contributes to it, which is the underlying assumption in the phrase “climate change.” We use real, actual temperature data that we believe will open your eyes and hopefully open your mind and your heart on the issue of global warming.
