Washington, DC – Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to address the closure of the Homer City Generating Station after fifty-four years of reliably utilizing Pennsylvania coal.
“What President Biden fails to realize is that technologies like wind-turbines and solar panels lack the fundamental capability to keep our lights on and our refrigerators cold,” said Congressman Joyce. “Eliminating coal will have disastrous consequences for families across the United States."

Background:
The closing of the Homer City Generating Station will leave four operational coal plants in Pennsylvania. According to the 2022 PJM Reserve Requirement Study the overall amount of power resources offered into the capacity market declined for the third year in a row.
As the Vice-Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, & Critical Materials, Congressman Joyce is committed to working to address grid reliability issues and ensure Pennsylvanians have access to a reliable supply of energy.
