250 years ago, Pennsylvania helped power America’s independence. Today, Pennsylvanians can still choose their own path — including who supplies their electricity. This #America250 and #FourthOfJuly, we celebrate freedom, independence & #energychoice.

To avoid sticker shock, per @Triblive: “What would help is clear legislative action, signed by the governor, to draw narrower lanes for utilities when it comes to price increases.”

U.S. #energy infrastructure is getting old, and consumers will end up paying for some of the costs of repairs & upgrades, @marketplaceapm reports. @powerlinesorg predicts a 21% increase in utility spending that could drive up household utility bills.

ICYMI: PA produces the energy. But without pipelines & infrastructure, we can’t deliver it. A @PennLive guest column makes clear: a broken permitting system is costing jobs, investment & reliability. It’s time to fix the process — not abandon progress.

Pennsylvania is a global energy leader, so why can’t we build the infrastructure to deliver it? A recent @PennLive column makes the case: permitting delays are holding us back.
