Pittsburgh, Pa. – Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC) president Kathryn Z. Klaber issued the following statement congratulating President Barack Obama on his re-election:

“We congratulate President Obama on his re-election and look forward to continuing to work with his administration over the next four years on issues related to American natural gas, a powerful engine of job creation.

“Natural gas is revitalizing our nation’s manufacturing base and giving our nation a more competitive position in the global economy, and as President Obama has said, ‘We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly 100 years.’

“We also, of course, are eager to continue our important work with the elected officials in Harrisburg and Washington, especially newly-elected members of the General Assembly, as well as those at the county and local level across the Commonwealth. These partnerships are critical to building upon the shared successes we continue to achieve for Pennsylvania and for America.”
