Pittsburgh, PA – Jim Welty, President of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, today issued the following statement:
“On behalf of the men and women who work in and with Pennsylvania’s natural gas industry, including our partners in the skilled trades, we extend our sincere thanks to Senator Dave McCormick, Senator John Fetterman, and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry for their hard work and commitment to ensuring that Pennsylvania is well-represented at the Great American State Fair.
“Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American energy, and it is fitting that the second-largest natural gas producing state in the nation showcases it’s industrious might as we celebrate 250 years of our nation’s independence.
“Each day, over 120,000 fellow Pennsylvanians go to work to ensure that our homes, schools, hospitals and businesses have the energy resources they need to prosper. Their work strengthens our nation’s security, sustains our economy, enhances our environment, and illustrates the exceptionalism of America that inspired our Founders so many years ago.”
