Robert F Kennedy, Jr Interview of Tammy, Matt Manning and Madison Burton 2 19 24 @GADCLuzerneCounty

It’s interesting to see how these two perspectives on fracking are playing out in Pennsylvania. 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.

There are four new pipeline projects underway, in various planning stages, that essentially will carry gas from north to south. • Atlantic Sunrise Expansion, a 180-mile project by the Williams. • Leidy Southeast Expansion, a series of “pipeline loops” totaling about 20 miles by Williams. • Diamond East Expansion, still in pre-planning stages but expected to include 50 miles of pipeline by Williams. • PennEast Pipeline, a 100-mile project by PennEast Company, a partnership that includes UGI Energy Services.

A Texas-based energy company announced plans in October to construct a $6 billion facility in Newport Township. Creating thousands of jobs, but residents claim their concerns are being ignored. “I’m very concerned about the noise pollution. There’s a whole bunch of questions that we have that need to be answered,” said Laura Keener, Newport Township. Laura keener lives in the Ridge View neighborhood in Newport Township. The proposed natural gas processing facility would be located near the neighborhood. “Is the property values going to go down? Are there going to be construction vehicles everywhere? It’s just not why we moved here. The beauty, peace, and quiet bares around all of that,” In October, Texas-based Nacero announced it wants to build a $6 billion facility on 3000 acres of reclaimed coal mining land in Newport Township, near Nanticoke. The facility would turn natural gas into gasoline that can be used for vehicles. Nacero claims the gasoline would have zero sulfur admissions and 50 percent less CO-2 emissions. Around 4,000 construction jobs would be created and 500 high paying permanent jobs. The project is being touted as one of the biggest economic projects in the history of Luzerne County. “Residents are right to have some questions. We’re going to have a very public process. Nacero has been very open and transparent in the early stage of this process. We recognize it’s going to take several years before this project is up and running,” said Senator John Yudichak, 14th District. Newport Township officials say they too are gathering information about the proposal. “As of this date no permits have been pulled and no paperwork yet. That’s all we know,” said Joe Hillan, Newport Township Manager “We know absolutely nothing as if and when it’s going to come or have we do not know yet until we get paperwork stating that it will be here,” said John Vishnefski Newport Township Commissioner. Scott Cannon is an environmental activist who says his group, Action Together, is closely monitoring the Nacero project. Community hopes for bright future with regarding Nacero facility “Nobody knows what a plant like this is going to bring to the area and people need to start asking questions,” said Cannon. In October I asked the Chairman of Nacero, Tom Tureen, about residents’ concerns at that point in time about the safety of the facility. “We are very attuned to safety as we are to the environment. But today when we build something for example or tanks are self-extinguishing functions. If a fire starts it’s put out in 90 seconds,” said Tureen. Nacero has yet to file any paperwork such as permits with any federal, state, or local agencies such as the State Department of Environmental Protection, the D.E.P. We reached out to the company today and have not heard back. In October, Nacero says they hope to begin construction in two years. It would take four to six years to complete.

If Aqua gets its way, the company will be allowed to remove 3 million gallons per day from the Susquehanna and kick out longtime residents who have nowhere else to go. The water will then be transported via pipeline to fracking sites all over Lycoming County, Pa., where it will be mixed with poisonous chemicals and injected into the earth.

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.
