Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, deserves an award. On Tuesday, backed by Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition members, OMalley delivered a trophy inscribed Congressional Climate Denier Award: For exceptional extremism and ignoring the overwhelming judgment of science. A silver unicorn, front legs kicking, topped the trophy to represent what OMalley said is a fantastic belief that humans do not cause global warming. The drive-by award ceremony was inspired by the congressmans statement in 2010 that there is not enough evidence to prove man-made climate change one way or the other, according to a press release from OMalleys firm. Barletta was not in his office but, in a written statement, a spokeswoman said the congressman believes we must seek balance in environmental policy. While everyone wants a clean environment, restrictive policy has hampered the growth of industry, the statement said. In todays economic climate, we simply cant afford regulations that will destroy jobs, raise energy prices and increase our dependence on foreign sources of energy, the statement said. These kinds of awards are being given around the country this week to Congress members who question global warmings validity. Organizing for Action, a non-profit advocacy group that promotes President Barack Obamas policy pursuits, is credited for inventing the award. According to Organizing for Action, 97 percent of scientists accept climate change research. The federal Environmental Protection Agency reports that NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that climate change is real and humans contribute to the rising global temperature. OMalley said politicians must recognize these facts and write laws to protect the environment. Future generations are going to be impacted by what we havent done, OMalley said.

$Luzerne County Council Act 13 Presentations April 10, 2012 WILKES-BARRE - Luzerne County Council decided Tuesday to postpone a vote to adopt an ordinance that would give the county a share of natural gas revenue until after a state judge rules whether to temporarily stop it from taking effect. Act 13 allows counties and municipalities to receive impact fees from natural gas wells and related infrastructure, but it also lets gas companies challenge local ordinances that are stricter than state law. A Commonwealth Court judge will hear a request Wednesday morning for an immediate injunction filed by a group including seven municipalities that contends the law is unconstitutional because it takes away local ability to control land use. Several council members suggested waiting until after the judges ruling to vote on the ordinance. Council President Jim Bobeck reminded them that under the state law, theres an April 16 deadline for counties and municipalities to pass an ordinance or they wont get any money. The council agreed to a special meeting at 6 p.m. Monday as well as an amendment to the ordinance, which will now specify that its adoption does not limit Luzerne Countys right to challenge the validity of provisions of the act. Although council members unanimously dislike the legislation, they are divided on whether or not the county should benefit from it. Councilwoman Elaine Curry, who called it a poster child for bad legislation, said she is concerned from a health care standpoint. One provision in the law is that if a doctor has a patient who thinks he or she was exposed to any chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, the doctor has to request in writing a list from the drilling company and sign a non-disclosure agreement, she said. Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck said she believes the act will be repealed. But in the meantime, she said, if a driller comes to town and there is no ordinance in place, the county would miss out on the fee. Nine residents asked council to vote against the ordinance. Their main concern is that under Act 13, companies could put wells and gas infrastructure anywhere, including residential neighborhoods and near schools and water supplies. Its almost a bribe, as if you were coerced to take the money, because state government knows all local municipalities need money, said Dave Thomas of Plymouth Township. Kim Krupsha of Kingston spoke on behalf of her nieces and nephews, who attend the Dallas schools. She recalled how district residents and members of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition successfully worked to prevent Chief Gathering LLC from building a natural gas compressor station less than a third of a mile from the Dallas campus. Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition co-founder Dr. Thomas Jiunta pointed out that gas wells only have to be 1,000 feet from water supplies such as the Huntsville and Ceasetown reservoirs. Exeter councilman Larry Dellegrotto said borough officials spent a considerable amount of time, effort and money to redo the zoning ordinance to regulate where oil and gas related activity can go to protect residents. This is where you should just sit back and let the municipalities decide what they want to do for themselves, Carol Culver of Harveys Lake told council. eskrapits@citizensvoice.com, 570-821-2072Luzerne County Council will hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, April 16, in the EMA building to vote on the natural gas impact fee ordinance.

Robert F. Kennedy’s (RFK Jr.) visit to Dimock on February 19, 2024 highlights the ongoing health and water contamination concerns linked to fracking, which have been well-documented in that area. His messaging aligns with environmental advocates who have long warned about the dangers of hydraulic fracturing. On the other hand, the push by Congressman Rob Bresnahan and Trump’s EPA head, Lee Zeldin, to lift the fracking ban in the Delaware Watershed shows a continuation of the pro-fossil fuel stance associated with Trump-era policies. If they succeed, it could open up new fracking opportunities in a region that supplies drinking water to millions of people. It’s a stark contrast in the Trump administration—one side arguing that fracking is making people sick, and the other pushing for deregulation to expand it. Given the history of fracking-related pollution in Pennsylvania, it’s likely to be a heated debate, especially in communities already dealing with contamination.

Moderator Larry Kane asked security guards to take her out, but the forum was disrupted for several minutes until she could be hustled away. The debate, the last of more than a dozen, was carried live on 12 TV stations and nine radio stations statewide. It was also broadcast on PCN and streamed live on Drexels website.
