O&G Contributed $143B, 847K Jobs in PA, OH, WV Economies in 2021

Every so often, the lying left will poke its head up and make the wild claim that the shale industry hasn't done a darned thing for the jobs or economy in various states--like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia (see Heinz Endowments Launches Another Fake ‘Report’ Bashing the M-U). They say, "All those claims of jobs created and economic benefits are just smoke and mirrors." We say the environmental left is full of (expletive deleted). And we can prove it. Earlier this week, the American Petroleum Institute (API) released a massive new report compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on the growing economic contributions of America’s natural gas and oil industry in all 50 states, including PA, OH, and WV, in 2021. For those three states (PA, OH, WV) in 2021, the O&G industry (largely shale) collectively contributed over $143 billion to state economies and supported more than 847,000 jobs! Stick that in your bong and smoke it, Big Green.
