Natural Gas NOW readers pass along a lot of stuff every week about natural gas, fractivist antics, emissions, renewables, and other news relating to energy. As usual, emphasis is added.

Corruptocrat Tells Us Exactly Who He Is

It was no slip of the tongue or mistake. It was deliberate. He meant it. He wanted to shock his audience so as to stand out from his primary opponent, Cynthia Nixon. He wanted to tell the radical leftists who sway so much of what happens in New York that he will never be outflanked in their rankings. He lied to attract their votes when he said “America was never that great” and he did so because he’s a craven politician:

We know he lied because he frequently brags about his family coming to America as immigrants. Moreover, he’s clearly done well and hasn’t left, although many of us would stand up and do a slow clap if he did.

This is the real Andrew Cuomo, a demagogue of such proportions that he’s willing to lie with abandon and denigrate the very nation he obviously seeks to lead someday. This is precisely what he did, also, on December 17, 2014 when he put on a dog and pony show to make a false case against fracking and what he’s doing today to to stop pipelines desperately needed in the Northeast. He’s a deeply dishonorable man who will sacrifice anything, anything at all, to quench his insatiable thirst for power.

Want a High-Tech Job? Seek One in Oil and Gas!

A great article in the Washington Examiner points out what many of us have know for some time; high-jobs are to found everywhere in oil and gas:

Today’s natural gas industry isn’t the same petroleum job your grandfather or your father would have applied for. It not only attracts computer scientists, software engineers, mathematicians, and geologists to relocate to Western Pennsylvania from around the country, but it also provides careers for locals who thought those good jobs left for good when the coal mines and steel mills closed a generation ago.

Plenty of locals, who perhaps were not cut out for college, just wanted an opportunity to work hard in an industry with a future. All the better if that industry utilized the resources of the land while conserving it — nobody wants to spoil the places for hunting, fishing, climbing, hiking, and camping. Even better, a local job would allow them to live near family…IMG_0235-512x382.jpg

Since the 1920s, technology and automation have been disrupting the manufacturing world — eliminating jobs and growth opportunities throughout the different regions in the country. Here, technology is creating jobs. For May , automation and high technology didn’t take his job; it enriched it.

“Correct. I kinda evolved with the times. I am truly living the American Dream.”

Read the whole thing and learn about Mike May, who works in the control room of CNX Resources Corporation in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, where he is able to monitor and adjust well sites throughout several states. It’s a great story.

Bradford Sanitary Authority Harassed by Serial SUNY Protester

One of our readers sent me this story yesterday about some harassment being experienced by the Bradford Sanitary Authority in McKean County, Pennsylvania. The Authority is being challenged by some environmental groups because it is working with the  the Environmental Protection Agency, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the Seneca Nation of Indians and ARANA Water Technologies of Texas to set up a wastewater disposal plant to treat some 20,000 gallons a day of brine trucked in by area oil companies.

Our reader pointed out it was the usual suspects and, sure enough, reading the story I learned this:

Glenn Wahl, a resident of Little Valley, N.Y., and affiliated with several environmental groups, also spoke.

“I was really hoping that I would be here today saying Advanced Water Services has offered a lot of information and data,” Wahl said, but said that is not the case. Wahl further claimed that ARANA president, Jeff Soward, who was not at the meeting, sent vague and incomplete answers to questions from his environmentalists groups, and didn’t provide data, as promised. “This has been a disappointing two months dealing with a company that is somewhat opaque instead of fully transparent,” he lamented. “I know there are people in this room today and at other meetings who have settled to take” ARANA at its word.

“But the industry of sewer projects is not good and it’s foolish to accept someone’s say-so on something as important as protecting our water,” he commented.

Mr. Wahl is a frequent commenter on our Facebook page and our blog posts. He is given to calling others “delusional” and making various wild claims. He was also a DAPL protester who Vic Furman analyzed so well here. Read the whole thing and you’ll see Wahl is caught up in the romanticism of being a fractivist. He’s a serial protester and he’s teaching kids at Jamestown Community College. He pretends he just wants transparency but he really wants is the thrill of killing an oil and gas project.
