Natural Gas Is Here to Stay, Even in New York, New York

Natural Gas Is Here to Stay, Even in New York, New York

The following article from the Manhattan Contrarian shows us natural gas is here to stay, in contrast to the green energy transition myth popular in New York, NY.

As reported in my last post, even the U.S. government’s own Energy Information Administration in the Department of Energy doesn’t believe for a minute that any kind of rapid transition to “net zero” carbon emissions is about to occur in this country. Although President Biden has supposedly committed the entire federal bureaucracy to the “net zero” by 2050 transition, the EIA projects steady and even increasing fossil fuel usage in the U.S. through the entire 28 intervening years.

The European energy scene is one that must serve as an example for America; an example of precisely what not to do. Yet, California and New York are copying it.

It’s now clear beyond any doubt. Joe Biden is the worst President of my lifetime. He is, as I’ve said before, an empty husk chosen by radical leftists of his own political party to win a nomination he was losing badly and be their puppet. They knew they Bernie would take them down big-time in the general and they substituted Joe Biden, who they knew they could get to do the same things as Bernie in the guise of everyone’s harmless buffoonish uncle.

So, here we are, 15 months into his administration with everything collapsing. Russia, enabled by his Nord Stream waiver and the surrender of Afghanistan, has attacked Ukraine. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is threatening us in myriad ways. Consumer price inflation is at a 40-year high; wholesale price inflation the highest ever recorded in the US. We are facing a the loss of the dollar as the reserve currency and we will soon have unaffordable interest rates that, more likely than not, will put us into deep depression. It is a Joe Biden created disaster. But, I’ve decided we all need to help Joe Biden and save him from the perils of his own handiwork.

Natural Gas – 100 Years Ago Today, April 8, 1922!

Natural gas news from a hundred years ago offers great perspective for discussing one of the cleanest sources of energy available then and still today.

I thought it might be fun and illuminating to look back 100 years ago at what was happening with natural gas. It is eye opening, given all we’ve learned over the last century and, of course, there is little new under the sun. Consider these 100-year old news items (emphasis added):

  • Energy Efficiency Embraced Before We Heard of It!
  • Idaho Welcomes What It Realizes Natural Gas Will Bring!
  • While Doomsayers Worry About Running Out of Gas!

The European energy scene is one that must serve as an example for America; an example of precisely what not to do. Yet, California and New York are copying it.

What is happening with European energy is nothing less a view into a dystopian world of unending disasters that are also gradually descending upon California and New York, not to mention other ignorant urban states. We have published blog post after post here about the utter failure of the of German Energiewende, as have many others, but the shrill voices of those determined to remake society through climate change policy have led blue states to dream European energy dreams even as their nightmare descends.

New York Gas Ban Is the Fruit of An Industry Lacking Fight

New York Gas Ban Is the Fruit of An Industry Lacking Fight

New York is banning gas appliances, an entirely predictable event, based on an almost complete lack of fight in the natural gas industry when it matters.

The Empire State’s new governor, Kathy Hochul, wants to establish her environmental bona fides. So, what better way to get it done than to jump on the natural gas banning bandwagon as the first state to officially surrender to this absurdity?

New York metro voters, after all, know no more about how their energy is produced than their food, and there are many more of them than Upstaters. And, the industry has already given up on New York, so there is only applause from greens coming your way if you are New York’s leader.
