Gov. Josh Shapiro recently unveiled a new energy plan for Pennsylvania that aims to create nearly 15,000 energy jobs, reduce electricity costs for residents, address climate change and ensure the state's energy independence. The plan has received support from both union and industry leaders and underscores its potential to build on Pennsylvania's history of energy leadership while focusing on job creation and cost reductions.
Key union leaders, including Rob Bair, president of the Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades, and Philip Ameris, president of the Laborers District Council of Western Pennsylvania, expressed support for the plan. They emphasized the importance of legislative action to implement the governor's proposals and the opportunities the plan offers workers in building future energy projects such as hydrogen and nuclear energy.
Industry representatives such as Mark Schneider, president of Cordia's East region, and Nick Deiuliis, president and CEO of CNX Resources Corporation, also supported the governor's plan. They emphasized its role in promoting economic growth, reducing emissions and utilizing Pennsylvania's natural resources. The plan is seen as a step toward modernizing the state's energy mix and improving its competitive advantage.
