Pennsylvania ranks among the leading energy producers in the nation and is our country’s No. 1 exporter of electricity. But radical environmentalists and President Biden’s Green New Deal policies threaten energy production — and our nation’s prosperity and energy independence.
Over the past few weeks, Pennsylvanians were hit with the announced July closure of the state’s largest coal-fired power plant, likely with more closures on the way, and the cancellation of a billion-dollar natural-gas power-generation plant. Overregulation no doubt played a role in the former, and, clearly, permitting hang-ups led to the cancellation of the latter — as the company had been waiting for years on appeals filed by environmentalist groups.
