The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is holding a forum

In May 2021, the radicals from PennFuture, the Philadelphia-based Clean Air Council, and the so-called Center for Biological Diversity (better named the Center for Leftwing Conformity) challenged an air permit issued by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the Renovo Energy Center, a Marcellus-fired power plant in Clinton County (northcentral), PA (see PA

If you live in Pennsylvania and listen to (or read) the media at all, you have likely heard about Senate Bill 106. The "short title" for the bill is this: "A Joint Resolution proposing separate and distinct amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing that there is no constitutional right to taxpayer-funded

Food & Water Watch (extremist radicals on the far-left spectrum) stirred up a small group of New Jersey residents to come out and protest a proposed electric generating plant to be located at the site of a current power plant in Woodbridge, NJ. Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) already operates one gas-fired power plant at the
