“We Hate Pipelines” Rhetoric from FERC’s 3 Democrat Commissioners
Last Thursday at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) open meeting in Washington, D.C., the three Democrat Commissioners uttered policies and statements that amount to an “I hate pipelines” philosophy. This is a bit odd, given their statutory role and responsibility as FERC commissioners is to enable pipelines, not stop them. Yet the Democrat Party is now completely radicalized and is corrupting agencies like FERC. The Dem FERC commissioners have lost their way and believe FERC is an environmental agency when, in fact, it’s an economic agency. Elections have consequences folks, and we repeatedly warned you in 2020 that FERC would be a casualty under Joe Biden. It is–in spades.

Yesterday Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, filed a proposal with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to implement a “responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) supply aggregation pooling service” at select locations across the TGP system. Translation: Utilities and other buyers will be able to buy RSG certified natural gas for their customers, costing them more money.
In the wacky world of leftists, all money earned by private companies belongs to the state, and the state beneficently allows a company to keep some of that money to pay employees and shareholders. That’s the attitude of the far left, anti-drilling group Policy Matters Ohio (PMO), which doesn’t like the current oil and gas severance tax of 2.5% in Ohio. It’s not nearly high enough to fund leftist programs, according to PMO.
Yesterday MDN told you that New York City was pointing the gun of economic suicide at its own head, ready to pull the trigger by outlawing the use of natural gas in all new buildings throughout the city (see 
The nuttiest, most inept Secretary of Energy in the history of the department, Jennifer Granholm, along with the man that says in 5,000 words than anyone else says in 5 words, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (one of the best BSers on the planet), are joining hands and skipping with glee that together they will get to spend $7 BILLION of your hard-earned, taxpayer money to deploy a national electric vehicle charging network that’s part of Biden’s so-called infrastructure bill.
While some Biden officials are bashing the U.S. domestic oil and natural gas industry, blaming them for not drilling more to ease prices, other Biden officials, like the haughty John Kerry, continue to pressure Big Banks to deny funding for oil and gas companies, which prevents them from doing more drilling. Does anyone else see the hypocrisy and contradictions in the actions of the dysfunctional Biden administration?
Hey men (and those who “identify” as men), when was the last time you checked your sperm count? Quick! Check it asap! A new study says a substantial drop in sperm counts and fertility rates over the past 50 years “could be” linked to pollution from the (gasp) burning of fossil fuels. That’s right. Burn those nasty fossil fuels and what do you get? Low sperm counts. So says…The Onion? Comedy Central? Jerry Seinfeld? Nope. So says a “study” published in the journal Nature.
