Pennsylvania is the Biggest Loser in PennEast Pipe Cancellation

States often get excited when the federal government deigns to hand out taxpayer money in dribs and drabs, a billion here and a billion there. Yet the best source of money to pump into an economy is private funds, invested by private companies. Private investment grows an economy for everyone, providing jobs and stimulus throughout the economy. With the sad announcement yesterday that PennEast Pipeline is abandoning its project, Pennsylvania, in particular, will miss out on most of the $1.2 billion estimated price tag to build it. All those jobs, all that investment....poof! Gone. Thanks to anti-fossil fuel nutters.
