Critical Role of Energy Production on PMA Perspective
On this week’s episode of PMA Perspective, we delve into the critical role of energy production in Pennsylvania. It not only upholds power grid reliability but also sustains countless jobs, boosts our economy, and enhances national security.
We’ll examine Governor Josh Shapiro’s recent moves to introduce his own version of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), despite the challenges and controversies surrounding it. While Pennsylvania has independently reduced carbon emissions and increased energy production, Shapiro’s “PACER” and “PRESS” proposals aim to mandate half of all Pennsylvania’s electricity be generated by sources of his choosing, several of which do not even yet exist.
Joining us in the studio is Senator Tracy Pennycuick, a staunch advocate for domestic energy production and market-driven solutions. We’ll explore how Pennsylvania continues to lead in energy innovation and what these new policies could mean for the future of the industry.
