2/2... "annual electricity bills could rise by more than $150 million per year in that area. Instead, these residents will have to use more expensive and less efficient space heating options."

[PA Sen. Community, Economic & Rec. Development @PASenateCERD]

1/2... @PAChamber Kevin Sunday: "Unfortunately, at the behest of activists, the governments of New York and New Jersey have attempted to obstruct several pipeline projects that would have delivered additional gas to New England."

[Marcellus Shale @MarcellusGas]

"Pipeline's are the energy highways for developers to get resources to market," @420Steamfitters' Snell says.

"I know first-hand the value of good-paying energy projects. These projects provide our members and their families the livelihood they depend on."

[PA Sen. Community, Economic & Rec. Development @PASenateCERD]

[PA Sen. Community, Economic & Rec. Development @PASenateCERD]

@SenatorGeneYaw “Lack of pipeline infrastructure in the NE has resulted in some of the highest electric rates in the US for families and businesses. It’s only going to get worse due to restrictive energy policies and foreign-funded anti fossil fuel groups."

[PA Sen. Community, Economic & Rec. Development @PASenateCERD]

Speaking now: @SenJohnYudichak adds; "Failing to invest in modern energy infrastructure, like state-of-the -art pipelines and manufacturing technologies, will devastate Pennsylvania’s economy, increase utility bills on consumers, and weaken our efforts to address climate change.”

[PA Sen. Community, Economic & Rec. Development @PASenateCERD]

2/2... "PA is a world leader in natural gas production, which has bolstered our economy and enhanced our ability to reduce carbon emissions by 34% over the last decade."

[PA Sen. Community, Economic & Rec. Development @PASenateCERD]

1/2... Speaking now: @SenJohnYudichak
“A radical environmental agenda driven by blind ideology over good science is promoting a false premise that the only climate solution is to end natural gas production in the United States."
