Hearing about serious environmental abuse like fracking can incite explosive feelings among those of us who care about the environment, but one environmental journalist has taken this sentiment too far. In a glaring example of poor logic, the executive editor of the Boulder Daily Camera, Kevin Kaufman, said that those who support the decision of […]

When you’re coming up with a resolution for 2017, why not take a look outside of yourself? While everyone else is vowing to take more walks or finally lose those last 10 pounds – all admirable goals, of course – you could be seizing the opportunity to make the world a better place for everyone. […]

During his first days in office, President Donald J. Trump reversed course on former President Obama’s policies regarding the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, signing executive actions that will once again move those energy infrastructure projects forward, as he pledged he would do during his campaign. The decisions are once again touching off major […]

In a frightening leap towards tyranny, North Dakota Republicans have introduced a series of bills that observers say are directly aimed at impinging upon the First Amendment rights of protestors, including those that have been congregating for months at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation where the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is set to be […]

In what appears to be a thinly-veiled slap in the face to President-Elect Donald Trump, who’s made it clear that he supports expanded domestic energy production, outgoing President Barack Obama has once again decided to seize land in the United States and place it under the jurisdiction of the federal government, effectively rendering it off-limits to […]

As one of its closing acts before leaving the stage, the Obama administration plans to relax EPA guidelines regarding maximum allowable radiation levels in the nation’s drinking water, increasing them to levels thousands of times above current legal limits. A federal lawsuit filed by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) led to the release of […]

After five years of study aimed at assessing the potential impact of fracking on drinking water supplies, the EPA has finally admitted that hydraulic fracturing “can impact drinking water resources under some circumstances.” This rather vague conclusion was drawn in the EPA’s final report on the subject, released on December 13, and represents a shift […]

Credit Suisse has been making headlines recently, but for all the wrong reasons. If funding the Dakota Access Pipeline wasn’t enough reason to dislike the bank, how about their involvement in 2 additional massive monopoly makers? The food and energy markets have huge mergers which will allow the corporations to dominate at our expense. These […]

In July, The Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit for the 1,100-mile Dakota Access Pipeline. This filled many major banks executives with joy, getting the green light for the construction of the pipeline to begin — but not so fast. The communities in the path of the pipeline, particularly local tribes, are not on […]

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock. The process requires drilling down into the earth then using a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals that are injected into the rock at high pressure. This allows the gas to flow up to the head of […]

A study done by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2015 is drawing ire from green groups as well as EPA science advisors. The issue lies in the message that the White House tried to present as the finding of the study and that certain information was suppressed or misrepresented by the EPA in doing so. […]

You can’t turn on a television or browse the internet without seeing story after story about pipelines. Whether it be the decision to enact a new pipeline, or the horrific repercussions of pipeline spills, one of the main storylines in America at the moment involves the transportation of gasoline. In fact, the governors of both […]

The measures the federal government will take in order to uncover the true intentions of its people grow more and more unnecessary every day. They seem to believe that we’re all conspiring to take down their corrupt, evil and — frankly — unconstitutional organizations. While there are many of us that believe that more government transparency would […]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not taken sufficient measures against methane emissions produced by the fracking industry, but why? According to an environmental watchdog group, the reason the EPA has failed to tackle fracking is because at least one EPA researcher accepted money from the oil and gas industry to cover up data centered […]

(Freedom.news) President Obama and Democrats always talk about “income inequality” and how hard they are working to close the income gap between rich and poor, all while imposing as many costly rules and regulations on us as possible. If liberal regressives are experts at anything, it is hypocrisy. That is especially true when it comes to energy. […]
