Nick DeIuliis
Author, Energy
Advocate &
Defender of
the Doers
An advocate for Appalachia, domestic energy, and the doers who build America, making the case for individual rights, honest science, and common sense.
About Nick
A voice for the doers,
builders, and creators
Nick DeIuliis grew up in Pittsburgh's Mount Washington and Oakland neighborhoods, in a family of Italian immigrants who worked the mines, mills, and railroads. He has spent his life in and around Appalachian energy, and he uses that vantage point to advocate for the region, for domestic energy, and for the doers who build America.
An author and host of The Far Middle podcast, his politics are simple: classic-liberal, minimal government, and fiscally responsible, or what most people would just call common sense. He believes civil discourse is a duty of leadership, and writes in that spirit, as a dissident living in truth.
"The further a society strays from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it."George Orwell
What He Stands For
Advocate for
the Doers
Nick's work keeps returning to the same handful of causes, and the people behind them.
Appalachia
Home. The region and its people: the miners, mill workers, and families who powered America and still deserve a real voice.
Domestic Energy
Reliable, affordable American energy, and an honest debate about how it is actually produced.
The Doers
The creators, builders, and tradespeople who make tangible things and keep civilization running.
Individual Rights
Free speech, and the freedom to decide for yourself how to live.
Science
Real, measurable, debatable science, not ideology dressed up as settled consensus.
Guided by classic-liberal individual freedom, minimal government, and fiscal responsibility in government, business, and life. What some call libertarian, and most would simply call common sense.
He treats civil discourse as a duty of leadership, and writes in the spirit of a dissident living in truth.

Who is Nick Deiuliis?
Nick DeIuliis is a chemical engineer, executive, attorney, author of Precipice: The Left's Campaign to Destroy America, and the host of The Far Middle podcast. He is a thought-provoking voice in the energy and manufacturing industries, advocating for technology, labor, environmental, and capital markets policy issues.
Introduction
Nick Deiuliis is a chemical engineer, attorney, and business executive. During a career spanning more than 35 years, he served as the CEO or Chairman of the Board of five public energy companies. During that time, Nick has been on the front lines of the war being waged by elites against the working men and women of Appalachia, the "doers" of the American economy, and the free-thinking individual.
Nick is a thought-provoking voice in the energy and manufacturing industries, advocating for technology, labor, environmental, and capital markets policy issues. He is a regular media contributor and speaks extensively on the virtues of the carbon economy, the nobility of the worker and middle class, and the vital importance of individual rights. Nick is a proud capitalist, free enterprise advocate, and lifelong Pittsburgher.
Growing Up
Nick spent his childhood happily roaming the streets of Mount Washington and Oakland in the city of Pittsburgh, where his family lived. Nick, his brother, and cousins would tag along with his dad, uncles, and grandfather when they worked as ushers at Three Rivers Stadium to watch the Steelers and Pirates during their heyday in the late 70s and early 80s (although unfortunately most of that watching consisted of batting practice and pre-game warmups). He attended Saint Mary of the Mount grade school in Pittsburgh and was an altar boy. His first job was as a paper boy for the Pittsburgh Press, which served as a free education by allowing him to read the paper during a time when media was objective.
After moving, Nick attended Chartiers Valley High School in suburban Pittsburgh. Desiring to work in the steel or related manufacturing industry but facing no job prospects due to the economic devastation in the 1980s, he decided to attend Penn State University to pursue a degree in chemical engineering.
Professional Career
After college, Nick began his career with CONSOL Energy, where he worked as an engineer in the field of power plants and electricity generation. He subsequently attended Duquesne University to pursue an MBA and returned later to Duquesne for a JD Law degree.
Across his 35-plus year career he has served as the CEO or Chairman of the Board of five public energy companies. He's been on the front lines of the war being waged by elites against the working men and women of Appalachia, the "doers" of the American economy, and the free-thinking individual.
Today Nick serves as a Director of CNX Resources Corporation. Previously he served as President and CEO for many years. Nick has helped continue CNX's more than 165-year legacy as one of the country's most innovative energy companies. He's advanced the company's highly regarded, unique Sustainable Business Model, spearheaded its Appalachia First Strategic Vision, launched the CNX Foundation and its flagship Mentorship Academy initiative, and established its ground-breaking Radical Transparency emissions monitoring program.
A Dissident Living in Truth
Nick is a constant voice opposing and questioning the rigid, anti-science, anti-progress, and anti-human ideology pushed by environmental organizations, elite academia, and entrenched bureaucrats. His advocacy has been described as, "the complete opposite approach you see taken by most CEOs in the energy business."
He views the leftist as the primary threat facing our nation and society. "Leftists look to deconstruct America and ruin its prospects," writes Nick in contrasting and defining leftists versus liberals.
Nick's motivation to speak up culminated in his book, Precipice: The Left's Campaign to Destroy America. And he continues to engage regularly on vital policy, economic, and societal issues via social media, his Far Middle podcast, essays, speaking events, and other forums.
Personal
Nick plans to remain a lifelong Pittsburgher, where he resides with his wife and children. Major influences are his grandparents, Eddie Van Halen, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Winston Churchill, George Orwell, and Alfred Hitchcock. His interests do not include golf, beachfront property, or expensive wine (although he does enjoy homemade wine). On good days, he is an average writer with something noteworthy to say...
Mission
"Without the 'doers' in society, quality of life instantly degrades. Our mission is to defend the 'doers' who create, enable, and serve free enterprise."
America is designed to allow individuals, businesses, and industries to freely toil, achieve, compete, and grow. Government should be minimal and exists solely to serve the people. Reason and science must prevail over dogma and political science. The individual and her rights reign supreme over the collective and the common good. The American system of meritocracy creates, grows, and sustains the middle class.
Today, an ecosystem of parasitic elites games the system and exists solely to appropriate and consume the fruits of the doers' labor. Those falling within its sway include swaths of the government bureaucracy, academia, the media, and NGOs/foundations. Certain businesses and industries exist solely to play in a rigged system, draining value from the stream of commerce created by legitimate endeavors.
This threat looks to methodically suffocate the noble working man, the innovative entrepreneur, and the disruptive industry in a zero-sum game between value creation and value consumption. Left unchecked, culmination of this campaign results in the destruction of the middle class, decision-making control resting with the entrenched elite, and the rest of society becoming indentured have-nots perpetually dependent on an unsustainable system.
Silence results in the poor and the young paying the heaviest price. Laying low destroys progress and the future. Political quietism delivers devastation across America; from Appalachia and across the Rust Belt, and from the Mississippi Valley to the Great Plains. Elites label these places as "fly-over" country. We call them home. Thus, to remain silent would be a failure of both ethical duty and moral responsibility.
"Government should be minimal and exists solely to serve the people."Nick DeIuliis
The Book
Precipice: The Left's Campaign to Destroy America
A rallying cry in defense of the "doers" to inspire awareness. Western society comprises three professional classes -- the Creator, Enabler, and Server -- who drive progress. America was designed to enable these classes to achieve freely through meritocracy and minimal government.
But "the Leech" -- a class that exists solely to appropriate and consume the fruits of others' labor -- has expanded across every economic and societal segment, threatening middle-class destruction and permanent dependency.
Institutional Capture
Sectors Under Siege
Government
Transformed from "of the people, by the people, for the people" into an administrative bureaucracy. Four branches now exist: legislative, judicial, executive, and bureaucratic -- the bureaucratic being the most powerful and unelected.
Universities
Converted from marketplaces of ideas into indoctrination centers with escalating tuition. Administrators benefit from extreme faculty and students; bureaucratic bloat grows at tuition-payers' expense.
Law
Commandeered so the system is the sole winner, regardless of justice. The profession evolved from republic protector to value extractor, draining commerce through billable hours.
Urban Centers
Facing insurmountable existential threats after prolonged institutional capture. Decades of policies designed to serve the system rather than the citizens they're meant to protect.
The Framework
The Four Classes
of Society
At the heart of Precipice are the professional archetypes that either build or erode the American experiment. The first three create and sustain; the fourth consumes.
The Creator
Engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs who produce tangible value and drive human progress through innovation and industry.
The Enabler
Professionals who support creation: the skilled tradespeople, technicians, and workers who make the wheels of civilization turn.
The Server
Those who serve communities directly, from teachers to first responders to healthcare workers, the backbone of daily life.
The Leech
A class that creates no value but consumes the fruits of others' labor through bureaucracies, regulations, and institutional capture.
"This book is dedicated to the four generations of women who nurtured, inspired, challenged, disrupted, and supported me through my life."Nick DeIuliis -- Precipice Dedication

The WSJ Energy Project
Caveat LectorReader, Beware
For sixteen months, Nick DeIuliis audited how The Wall Street Journal covers energy. The finding: 122 articles carrying more than 500 documented problems, and a set of recurring tactics he calls the Dirty Dozen. Here is the full report, the searchable database, and the ongoing watch.
The Analysis
Gell-Mann amnesia, applied to energy
For years, Nick DeIuliis held The Wall Street Journal as the standard of excellence in news. Then he recognized a condition clouding that judgment: the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, where a reader spots the flaws in coverage of a subject they know well, then turns the page and trusts the same outlet on everything else.
With more than 35 years in the energy industry, DeIuliis had the expertise to test that trust. From mid-August 2024 through December 2025 he read and catalogued 122 WSJ energy stories, logging over 500 instances of flawed assumptions, errors, omissions, and misdirection across the work of 70 reporters. Compared side by side in a single database, the individual slips coalesced into twelve recurring, common flaws.
The goal was never to tear the paper down. It was to help a great institution regain the fundamentals of its craft, so it can once again be the beacon other newsrooms follow.
Read the full analysis →The Pattern
The Dirty Dozen
Twelve tactics kept reappearing across the reporting: the toolbox from which The WSJ energy desk errs and misreports. Most flawed stories combined several at once.
Manufactured Consensus
Treats an 'existential' climate crisis and 'settled science' as fact, without measurable evidence.
The ‘Clean Energy’ Myth
Calls wind, solar, batteries, and EVs zero-carbon while ignoring their real life-cycle footprints.
Costly Sold as Cheap
Frames the most expensive, least reliable power as the low-cost, scalable option.
Credentialed Bias
Presents conflicted advocates, NGOs, and lobbyists as neutral, authoritative experts.
Cherry-Picked Data
Selects the time periods and datasets that manufacture the desired conclusion.
Double Standards
Grades favored energy on a curve and holds disfavored energy to tougher standards.
Errors of Omission
Leaves out the key facts that would change the reader’s conclusion.
The Story Not Told
Declines to expose obvious problems when they implicate favored players.
Theatrical Language
Trades facts for emotion: ‘spewing,’ ‘bludgeon,’ ‘ax’ in place of neutral terms.
‘Willing, but Blocked’
Implies industry would go net-zero on its own but for policy, with no evidence.
Cheerleading & Jeering
Boosts the preferred and unfairly hits the rest, sometimes right in the headline.
Correlation as Causation
Abuses statistical association to imply causation to assign credit or blame.
Ongoing
The WSJ Watch
The audit was a beginning, not an end. Each time The WSJ publishes an energy story with a flaw(s), Nick breaks down exactly what it got wrong on LinkedIn. The most recent analyses are below, and the full collection can be accessed on LinkedIn.
The report, and the running record.

This information is used to operate the Site securely and reliably. We also measure aggregate site usage ourselves, without cookies, as described in the "Site Analytics" section below.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as financial account numbers, government identifiers, or health information, and you should never send such information to us.

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. This Site uses cookies and similar technologies in a limited way:
- Essential storage. We store your cookie preference locally in your browser so we can remember your choice. This is necessary for the Site to work as you expect.

Site Analytics
We measure how the Site is used so we can understand which pages and essays readers find valuable. This measurement is first-party and cookie-free: it runs on our own infrastructure, uses no cookies or persistent identifiers, sets nothing on your device, involves no advertising or social media networks, and never follows you to other websites.
When you view a page, we record the page address, the referring website (if any), your country (derived from your IP address), your device type (mobile or desktop), and the date and time.

Your raw IP address and browser details are never stored, the daily random value is deleted at the end of each day, and the anonymized codes are discarded within 24 hours. After that, only aggregate totals remain, such as "this page received 40 views." This information cannot be used to identify you.
Where the GDPR applies, our legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the Site. Because this measurement does not identify you and uses no cookies, it does not require a consent banner. We honor the "Do Not Track" and "Global Privacy Control" browser signals: visits from browsers sending either signal are not counted at all.
