Should PA Shale Be Worried About the New Democrat Trifecta?

Last week we told you storm clouds were gathering over the Marcellus now that Democrats control all three levers of state government in Harrisburg (see Democrats Flip PA Senate – Storm Clouds Gather Over the Marcellus). On Friday, state Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler (D-Philadelphia), chair of the PA House Energy Committee, released her post-election energy agenda. We read it alongside what other Democrats said before and after the Nov. 3 election to answer one question honestly: how worried should the shale industry really be? Our answer: worried enough to watch every committee hearing closely, but not (yet) worried enough to panic. We'll let you know when it's time to hit the panic button.
