- I will be joining @KDKALarry w/ @kdkaradioamnews tomorrow at 7:45 A.M. to talk about the REAL reason PA energy prices are on the rise. Tune in: audacy.com/stations/kdkar…
- 🔵@GovWesMoore, @GovSherrillNJ and @GovernorVA know that their states don’t produce enough energy to supply their state on their own, but they also know that their blue state partner @GovernorShapiro will supply them w/ PA’s baseload, at the expense of PA ratepayers.

- .@GovernorShapiro’s $330 PJM Price Cap is supposed to provide relief but... 🔵@GovSherrillNJ: 100% renewable by 2035 🔵@GovWesMoore: 100% renewable by 2035 🔵@GovernorVA: 100% renewable by 2045 Are paid for by PA consumers.
- MD imports approx 40% of its electricity & consumes more than 5x the energy it produces & @GovernorShapiro continues to let PA ratepayers foot MD’s electric bill, when @GovWesMoore should be working to build power plants to meet all of the state’s demand. msn.com/en-us/money/ma…
- Does this include eliminating green energy fees & the RGGI Carbon Tax or is this just a way to place blame elsewhere for NJ’s rising costs? All show & no go, which we’ve been seeing a lot with liberal governors.Junk fees – those hidden charges companies sneak onto your bill – add up fast. I just signed an Executive Order to reduce and eliminate these fees, and I’ll keep fighting to make life more affordable for New Jerseyans.

PA may have left RGGI, but we're still getting screwed on our electric bill like a RGGI state. This explains why: @NewsRestoration @CFACTLet’s talk about the real reason Pennsylvania energy prices are skyrocketing.00:00 - PA republicans exited RGGI. VA democrats @GovernorVA rejoined RGGI. PA consumers are paying for it w/ @GovernorShapiro’s Price Cap, allowing VA to pay $114 less per MWd, while PA pays $60 more.……but you don’t need a “study” to do the simplest thing to lower Virginians electric bill: Repeal The Carbon Tax you put on everyone’s power bill your first weeks in office..@GovernorVA prices are RISING from the RGGI carbon tax, and it’s failing to improve CO2 emissions. On top of that, PA supplies you with your energy through the grid. That’s not exactly ‘energy independent.’ PA is paying for your bad policies.
- Any plans for the fourth? Spend the day w/ costumed re-enactors, local veterans and scouts at the Fort Pitt Museum to raise a 36-foot American flag to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence!
