…EDF’s study has already won praise from the American Petroleum Institute, Energy in Depth, industry-funded propaganda film “FrackNation,” and the right-wing news website founded by Glenn Beck, The Blaze.

Greenpeace USA Executive Director Phil Radford’s worst case scenario has come true.

“At worst, [the study] will be used as PR by the natural gas industry to promote their pollution,” Radford wrote soon after the study’s release.

“In fact, methane is 105 times more powerful than carbon pollution as a global warming pollutant [during its first 20 years in the atmosphere], so figuring out its real climate impacts has very real consequences for us going forward.”

This raises the key question: could the Steering Committee’s agenda steer us all off the climate cliff?

Second CNG station coming to Kirkwood | Press & Sun-Bulletin | pressconnects.com

Second CNG station coming to Kirkwood | Press & Sun-Bulletin | pressconnects.com.

This general location is close to I81 and must be pretty close to a nat. gas trunk line.

There will now be a total of 3 such filling stations in Broome County; one has been there a long time and is also adjacent to I81 a bit further north.

Note the pricing at $2.69 per gallon equivalent doesnt include the $0.50 NY road tax that is always applied to gasoline and diesel – subsidy for nat. gas.
