Shapiro Pays Hollow Lip Service to NatGas in New Economic Strategy

Actions speak so much louder than words on a page, don't they? Take Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. When he was Attorney General, he relentlessly threatened and attacked and harassed the companies in the Marcellus industry (see our many stories here). Now, as Governor, he's trying to kill the Marcellus gas-fired power plants in the state by forcing a carbon tax on them begun by his predecessor (see PA Gov. Shapiro Proves He’s Radical Left – Appeals RGGI Decision). So when Shapiro, as governor, releases an economic development strategy document for the state (52 pages long) that pays lip service to the role of natural gas in the future of the state (four references total, and no mention of the Marcellus), color is not impressed. Yet some are falling all over themselves to heap praise on this do-nothing governor. Not here. He's a putz. We're here to remind you of that.
