Dems Intro Bill to Create PA-Only Marcellus-Killing Carbon Tax

It's full speed ahead for the radical anti-Marcellus Democrats in the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Last week, PA Gov. Josh Shapiro traveled to Scranton, PA, to do a dog-and-pony show announcing his personalized version of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) carbon tax that would apply only to PA (see PA Gov. Shapiro Proposes Own Version of Marcellus-Killing Carbon Tax). Shapiro calls it PACER, the Pennsylvania Climate Emissions Reduction Act. PACER would do what RGGI does — slap a huge tax on gas-fired power plants because they burn methane that gets converted into carbon dioxide. His far-left allies in the legislature --- Sen. Carolyn Comitta (D-Chester), Sen. Steve Santarsiero (D-Bucks), Rep. Danielle Friel Otten (D-Chester), and Rep. Aerion Abney (D-Allegheny) --- are about to introduce a bill in both chambers to make PACER a reality. Good luck with that in the GOP-controlled Senate!
