Please Call the President to Support Natural Gas

Print PDF

Dear Natural Gas Supporters,The optimism I have enjoyed the past few days as a result of the president's endorsement of natural gas remains strong and is growing. It feels good to see all of our hard work and combined efforts producing positive winning results.
However, anti-gas professional organizers are striking back harder than ever. Across the nation they're conducting well coordinated and funded calling and petition campaigns in an attempt to convince the president to reverse...

Examples of EPA’s Selective and Inconsistent Use of Data

Manganese levels in the four water wells for the residents where water will be delivered are higher than EPA secondary contaminant levels standards, but they are in line with the levels which naturally occur throughout the Susquehanna County area. The secondary contaminant levels for substances are established in relation to the color and taste of water and do not indicate any possible human health concerns. This makes sense as...

Print PDF

January 31, 2012|By Andrew Maykuth, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Philly.com

In the latest salvo over Marcellus Shale gas drilling in the embattled town of Dimock, a natural-gas company on Tuesday alleged that federal regulators had cherry-picked old test data to distort the amount of contamination in drinking-water wells.

Cabot Oil and Gas Co., whose drilling was blamed for the pollution, said that the drinking-water tests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency used to justify its Jan. 19...

Fracking Boom Could Finally Cap Myth of Peak Oil

Print PDF

By Peter Orszag Jan 31, 2012 7:00 PM ET      Bloomberg

The U.S. oil market could be on the verge of its own fracking revolution, similar to what the natural-gas market is already experiencing. As a result, domestic production is now projected to rise significantly over the coming decades, reducing the relative share of imports in U.S. oil consumption.

Advances in horizontal drilling and hydrofracking, in which highly pressurized liquids are injected into underground rock...

WSJ: A Badly Distorted Discourse on U.S. Energy Policy

Print PDF

Five terrific Wall Street Journal letter responses to the Jan. 24 WSJ op-ed by Tom Steyer and John Podesta claiming that “We Don’t Need More Foreign Oil and Gas.”

The “foreign oil and gas” refers to the Keystone XL Pipeline which would bring tar sands oil to the Gulf Coast from Canada.

EPA defends Pavillion tests but cautions on fracking link

Print PDF

By JEREMY FUGLEBERG Star-Tribune energy reporter | Posted: Saturday, January 21, 2012 12:00 pm

In a letter to Gov. Matt Mead, the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defended the agency’s water contamination tests in the Pavillion area and insisted a tentative link to hydraulic fracturing isn’t yet conclusive.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in her letter sent to the governor on Thursday that she was concerned two recent...

Industry, Professors at Odds on Gas

Print PDF

Seems that Howarth/Ingraffea are quoted by every anti gas extremist (probably by caveat and training from the elitist Park Foundation) as justification for turning our back on the best thing to happen to the United States in 30 years. Silly comments about walking away from 30 years of benefit because there is some cost to get the benefit. Totally ignoring the huge positive changes that gas can and is bringing to depressed areas of the country, for heavens knows what reason. We certianly hope...

No energy industry backing for the word 'fracking'

Print PDF

Associated Press  By JONATHAN FAHEY, AP Energy Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A different kind of F-word is stirring a linguistic and political debate as controversial as what it defines.

The word is "fracking" — as in hydraulic fracturing, a technique long used by the oil and gas industry to free oil and gas from rock.

It's not in the dictionary, the industry hates it, and President Barack Obama didn't use it in his State of the Union speech — even as he praised federal subsidies for...

All politics aside, this is great news for us as united landowners! The...
