Bloom Energy, a provider of fuel cells that convert natural gas (or biogas, or hydrogen) into electricity without combustion, meaning no carbon dioxide emissions, has signed a two-year deal to buy all of its natural gas to power fuel cells at some 700 locations from EQT. But it's not just any natural gas Bloom is

It's a sad day in Pennsylvania. Gov. Tom Wolf and his patsy at the Dept. of Environmental Protection, Sec. Pat McDonnell, have finally prevailed and will publish a final version of new regulations forcing the state to join the so-called Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)--a carbon tax that is about to unleash economic hell on

If you still live in New York or Massachusetts and National Grid is your utility company, now is the time to move. Preferably to another state. National Grid has finally waved the white flag of surrender to the leftist mob that demands the elimination of all fossil energy. National Grid will force its customers to

MDN has highlighted Capstone Turbine Corporation, a California company that manufactures small electric-generating plants that run on natural gas, several times in the past (see our Capstone stories here). Capstone, at some point, renamed itself. The company is now called Capstone Green Energy Corporation. Of course it was renamed! It's a California company and, you

Yesterday MDN told you about anti-fossil fuel zealots in New Jersey who irrationally hate all fossil energy, including natural gas, opposing three new electric power plants planned for the Garden State (see NJ Anti-Drilling Zealots Attack Plans for 3 New Gas-Fired Plants). Massachusetts is a lot like NJ when it comes to liberals who hate

The main reason Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf wants to force his state (against the will of a majority of residents) to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a carbon tax, is that it will supposedly cut down the state's emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is supposedly causing Mom Earth to toast (see Gov.

The worst Pennsylvania governor in our lifetime continues to wreck the PA economy. Tom Wolf previously made noise about dooming PA's economy by forcing the state to adopt a so-called "cap-and-trade" plan for carbon dioxide--the stuff every living animal, including humans, breathes out with every breath (see

Anti-fossil fuel zealots who irrationally hate all fossil energy, including natural gas, are beside themselves that three new electric power plants are planned for New Jersey. Two would use natural gas as their fuel source, while the third plant plans to use renewables of some kind. Yet antis are freaking out. Two of the planned

Last Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court ruled that Gov. Tom Wolf’s obscene carbon tax, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), will not go into effect until “pending further order of the court” (see Yes! PA Commonwealth Court Blocks RGGI Carbon Tax Regs…for Now). In an attempt to short circuit and circumvent Commonwealth Court and the

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court ruled that Gov. Tom Wolf's obscene carbon tax, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), will not go into effect until "pending further order of the court." What further action from the court is necessary was not disclosed. What is obvious is that Wolf's attempt to force the state to
