The Biden administration’s decision to pause new liquefied natural gas export permits was based off a study that was deliberately published prior to peer review, and is part of a broader effort to “get rid of fossil fuels as quickly as possible,” according to the...
The Biden Administration recently announced a temporary pause on the Department of Energy approving new U.S. LNG export projects that the United States does not have a Free Trade Agreement with – an announcement that received immediate criticism from elected leaders, foreign officials, industry leaders,...
U.S. LNG has been a hot button topic in recent weeks as the Biden administration announced it would be reassessing the Department of Energy’s LNG permit approval process last week, followed on Friday with an announcement that it is temporarily pausing pending decisions on LNG...
UPDATE (1/26/24) Longtime activist researcher Bob Howarth has quietly updated his study pushing false lifecycle emission claims of natural gas – twice – both conveniently corresponding to news-of-the-day hooks. In promoting his research – which has yet to undergo peer-review or be published in a...
Claims that the leakage rate of natural gas wells and infrastructure make the resource worse for the environment than coal are once again circulating – and using the same debunked methodology as previous research by Food and Water Watch board member and Cornell professor Robert...
The U.S. oil and natural gas industry is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. That means we’re investing in technology to detect methane leaks sooner and fix them faster, and developing solutions like carbon capture and storage that will benefit not only our own industry, but other energy intensive sectors and industries – ensuring the United States...
A recent article in the New York Times made several sensational and dubious allegations about Energy In Depth (EID) and the work that this program does. As the person who started the program back in 2009, I thought it would be useful to provide a...
A new Park Foundation-funded methane study is generating lots of anti-fracking headlines, despite its conclusions being at odds with the bulk of the scientific community. Cornell University professor and Food and Water Watch board member, Bob Howarth, is back and this time he claims that...
An Earthworks spokeswoman made a big gaffe in a small Oklahoma newspaper last month that confirms what experts have been saying for years about anti-fracking groups’ misleading use of “Forward Looking Infrared” (FLIR) images— they are devoid of scientific evidence and are specifically designed to...
Anthony Ingraffea, a notorious anti-fracking activist and a professor of engineering at Cornell University, is yet again planning to take his misleading anti-fracking claims on the road – this time to Florida – in his ongoing campaign to stop all fossil fuel development. The Conservancy...
Her team’s latest study that claims adverse health impacts associated with oil and natural gas development “cannot tell us that oil and gas caused any of these health outcomes,” admitted Lisa McKenzie, a researcher whose work is routinely cited by anti-fossil fuel activists, on a...
Perhaps motivated by the fact that their own research has failed to convincingly tie oil and gas development to reproductive problems, anti-fracking researchers from the University of Missouri recently released a “systemic review” of studies of the “association between oil and natural gas extraction processes...
