The left ‘hates’ fossil fuels the same way they ‘hate’ guns. They need them, you don’t. Fracking was a logical target because it produces the energy we need at prices everyone can afford. Killing it was a priority, and kill it they did, but new research suggests it might be a critical part of the … Read more
While Treehugger is still alive, barely, it isn’t the harder hitting / deeper posts of the past. Thus, I’m spending far less time there and I’m just going to put up the last comment threads from some of the posts I thought were worth keeping. This set is both timeless, in the past, and kinda … Read more
If you did not watch debate night for the VP’s this time you missed something on climate change and fracking. The debate was a better articulation of the Harris Bien position than Joe was able to present. The interaction was more professional than the first Presidential debate. There did seem to be a clear winner. … Read more
Joe Biden flip flops… now he says he won’t ban fracking. Maybe he and Kamala should get together. One might think national energy policy would be a topic on which they might want alignment. It is only responsible for what? About 3,000,000 jobs. Joe says yes and Kamala says no. Joe used to say no … Read more
Just so we’re clear the Democrat Race-Pimps Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are in favor of transitioning to what the left pretends are cleaner forms of energy (they are not). But they are concerned that the current crop of Fracking-banners would place an unfair burden on African Americans.
The Arabs and Russian’s have spent millions in the US trying to make Fracking into some sort of evil. The UAE even backstopped an anti-fracking movie. But a study funded in part by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) just undid much of that.
The left hates fracking. It creates jobs, stimulates growth in the economy, keeps energy prices down. All things they are happy to sacrifice on the altar of their green socialist god. So, is it any wonder Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a bill to end that growth and prosperity within five years?
We’ve had a thing or two to say about fracking. Good things. Not just to piss off Democrats who bought in on the Left’s lies about this valuable process and resource. We (rightly) think Fracking has been great for America. Bernie Sanders wants to ban it.
As Democrats continue to cry collusion with our Russian enemy, it becomes clear that no set of policy priorities mirrors Vladimir Putin’s own than those of the Democrat party. None of these more so than anti-fracking narratives. Many of them originating in Putin’s Russia.
Existing fracking fleets are powered by diesel. But this energy sector has long been about technology and cutting costs. This latest innovation not only lowers operation costs, it reduces pollution and their carbon footprint.
Western Pennsylvania’s energy workers hoped to communicate with the Democrat presidential candidates. The workers wanted the chance to defend the way they make their living. Their intention was to open a line of communication before the candidates decided to go to war against shale.
We’re back after an unplanned week off. The Cloud ate our podcast. Everything’s working this week and we’re firing on all cylinders, taking aim (figuratively) at the left and their ridiculous worldview.
The left hates fracking. They’ve gone to great lengths to stop it, from legislation to movies funded by Saudi Oil Sheiks to mobs and rants and scam science. And had they succeeded the recent disputes with Iran would have driven gas prices through the roof.
“The leaner, meaner and more resilient U.S. shale is basically wiping out OPEC’s efforts to achieve higher oil prices with the output deal.“ “wellhead breakeven prices in the Permian Midland have dropped from $71/barrel in 2014 to $36/barrel in 2016–a 49-percent decrease“ OK, I kid about the second group (“leave it in the ground enviro-weenies”) … Read more
EPA says fracking is not a threat to drinking water. Liberals – lose your minds. (NPR) “We found the hydraulic fracturing activities in the United States are carried out in a way that has not led to widespread systemic impacts on drinking water resources,” says Tom Burke, science adviser and deputy assistant administrator of the … Read more
We are right to assume that Democrats favor subsidies for green energy projects, redistribution schemes like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and renewable energy standards that use government force to require power providers to buy more expensive wind and solar derived electricity to put it into the grid, because they supported, voted for, and … Read more
About Uber-leftist Matt Damon’s new film about the evil American oil and gas industry… A new film starring Matt Damon presents American oil and natural gas producers as money-grubbing villains purportedly poisoning rural American towns. It is therefore of particular note that it is financed in part by the royal family of the oil-rich United … Read more
According to national media reports, Pennsylvania’s 2025 budget deal caused the state to “exit” RGGI. Media coverage also used the words “leave,” “quit” and “pull out” to describe Pennsylvania’s abandonment of RGGI. Pennsylvania, though, wasn’t actually a member of RGGI. In 2019, then-Gov. Tom Wolf issued an executive order for his administration to adopt regulations consistent with … Read more
Pennsylvania shocked Northeast energy policy nerds this week by withdrawing from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). To get a state budget passed, Gov. Josh Shapiro agreed to remove Pennsylvania from the 11-state carbon cap-and-trade program, making it the first state to exit since RGGI was created in 2005. RGGI is supposed to reduce regional … Read more

This horrific accident offers essential lessons about train safety, chemical remediation, government communication, and public policy. All of these issues impact making … Read more
