Natural gas is a clean, affordable and reliable energy source for Americans

The United States is a world leader in clean energy technology, jobs and in reducing carbon emissions. Natural gas is key to making this leadership possible. Natural gas is an affordable and reliable part of our nation’s energy supply, used by more than 180 million Americans and over 5.5 million businesses, both large and small. It accounts for nearly one-third of our country’s energy supply and, importantly, the United States has abundant reserves of natural gas both on- and offshore, strengthening our energy security—a stark contrast to countries that have turned their backs on natural gas, leaving them vulnerable to global chaos and volatile prices.

Governor Josh Shapiro’s Wrong Approach to Grid Reliability – Gordon Tomb (CO2 Coalition)

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has asked regional power grid operators to enhance the electricity system’s dependability—and he’s got ideas about how to do it. But his premises are flawed, and his suggestions misguided. Shapiro wants reliable power, yet he’s banking on unreliable sources to provide it. That approach isn’t just wrongheaded; it’s a recipe for failure.

Legislators from Pennsylvania, Ohio discuss grid reliability

PJM officials recently testified that PJM will not have sufficient power to meet consumer demand if things continue on the current course. PJM said that 20 percent of its existing capacity would retire by 2030. Legislators from both states agreed during the meeting that regulating policies like the multistate Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), overregulation by state agencies, and reliance on renewable energy sources will speed the collapse of the energy grid.
