“Natural gas must be the fundamental underpinning of any reasonable Pennsylvania energy policy. We sit atop one of the largest natural gas basins in the world and supply more than 60 percent of Pennsylvania’s electric generation, while delivering considerable consumer benefits across the state. Energy policies that promote barriers to continued development, add further unpredictability, inefficiencies, and costs that ultimately burden the consumer, are a disservice to the Commonwealth and threaten the long-term reliability of the electric grid.
“We welcome further discussion on how natural gas can continue to be a leader in securing Pennsylvania’s energy security, and look forward to working collaboratively with our partners, including those in the building trades, as well as policymakers who are serious about advancing pro-Pennsylvania energy policies moving forward.” – Marcellus Shale Coalition president, Jim Welty
