Gas to Feed New LNG Plants Will NOT Come from M-U, Sadly
Over the years, we’ve tracked how Marcellus/Utica molecules have traveled, via pipeline, to the Gulf Coast and to petrochemical, but most importantly, to LNG export facilities. We’ve shown how M-U gas feeds Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass and Sempra’s Cameron facilities in Louisiana (see How Marcellus/Utica Gas Feeds Sabine Pass & Cameron LNG in La.). We’ve also traced our molecules to facilities in Texas, to Freeport (currently offline), and to Corpus Christi. A number of new LNG plants along the Gulf Coast are now in the works that will expand our country’s LNG export capacity. Will they also tap into M-U molecules? Not likely, according to RBN Energy.

Most New Yorkers are clueless about a law passed in 2019 called the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (or “Climate Act”), which limits carbon dioxide emissions to zero (an impossibility) by 2050 (see 
The Bidenistas continue their drive to kill fossil energy production in this country. The latest attack comes from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a part of the Dept. of Interior. Earlier this week, the BLM released a new draft regulation to “address the waste of natural gas during the production of oil and gas on federal and Tribal lands.” Sounds like a good thing, right? The regulation will force expensive new equipment to be purchased, enforce new methods to reduce methane emissions, and in general, bury both new drillers and existing producers under mountains of paperwork required to prove wells aren’t leaking methane. One of the places this proposed new reg will affect is the Allegheny National Forest (ANF) in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Yesterday Northwood University (in Michigan), along with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy (also in Michigan), published a new study called, “The Truth About Natural Gas: A Wellspring for the U.S. and Global Energy Future” (full copy below). The study says we ignore the many benefits of natural gas at our own peril. Flawed energy policies by the Bidenistas are harming our ability to meet everyday needs. The study looks at Europe and the boneheaded policies they adopted that reduce domestic natural gas production there. Europe’s policies have created an all-out energy crisis for its citizens (don’t blame Putin–if Europe had its own supplies of natgas it could tell Vlad to kiss off).

In January of this year, MDN reported on Pennsylvania State Senate Bill (SB) 806, aimed at providing clarity in the royalty payment statements landowners receive from oil and gas drillers (see 
When we first spotted an article by PBS titled “Why Ohio’s top oil and gas producing counties continue to lag in jobs,” we were intrigued. The “deck” of the article (the little subtext directly under the headline) says, “A decade into Ohio’s shale gas boom, seven Appalachian counties still have unemployment rates that exceed the state average. Experts and local sources suggested four reasons why fracking hasn’t closed the gap.” The implication is that fracking and the jobs it could and would create were oversold. Jobs from fracking are smoke without fire. Yet the article itself appears to prove just the opposite–that fracking HAS led to a dramatic increase in jobs in Ohio.
