We're about tell you about bitcoin mining and blockchains, a topic we know VERY little about. We feel like we've entered the Twilight Zone! However, we believe there's a connection (in this case) with the Utica Shale. So strap in and hold on...We spotted a press release from a company we hadn't heard of before

Josh Shapiro promised he was a different kind of Democrat--that he would work with Republicans on important issues like the environment if elected Governor of Pennsylvania. In the end, Shapiro has turned out to be a dud--a do-nothing governor. We warned you during the campaign that should Shapiro get elected, he would (eventually) embrace the

We don't often talk about NERC--the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. NERC is a nonprofit corporation based in Atlanta, Georgia. The electric utility industry formed it to promote the reliability and adequacy of bulk power transmission in the electric utility systems of North America. Last week NERC issued its 2023 Summer Reliability Assessment (full copy

From the beginning of the shale revolution in Pennsylvania, State Rep.

Two weeks ago, the Bidenistas at the EPA issued, for a second time, new regulations aimed at controlling how much carbon dioxide (CO2, the stuff you breathe out with every breath you take) electric power plants can emit. West Virginia intends to overturn the new regulations with a lawsuit, the same as the state did

We've noticed over the past several weeks a coordinated effort among Big Green groups, including the Sierra Club, Analysis Group, the so-called Resources for the Future, the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, and others, engaged in a full-court press to try and convince Pennsylvanian's that the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a HUGE tax on

Two weeks ago, the Bidenistas at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a hellscape of new regulations aimed at forcing coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to close (see New Biden EPA Regs a “Death Sentence” for Fossil-Fuel Power Plants). West Virginia coal, oil, and natural gas stakeholders, along with state politicians, are not happy.

Last December, Rice Acquisition Corp II, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) started by the Rice brothers (Danny, Toby, and Derek), announced a deal to acquire NET Power--an electric power developer with revolutionary new technology to capture every last molecule of carbon dioxide from natural gas-fired power plants (see Dan Rice Buys Co. that Builds

Last week the Bidenistas at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a hellscape of new regulations aimed at forcing coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to close (see New Biden EPA Regs a “Death Sentence” for Fossil-Fuel Power Plants). The Wall Street Journal called the new regs a "death sentence for fossil-fuel power plants." The
