State Rep. James V. Gregory | Pennsylvania 80th Legislative District
Representative Jim Gregory (R-Blair) and the House Republican Policy Committee, chaired by Josh Kail (R-Beaver/Washington), recently held the second hearing in a series focusing on ensuring affordable and reliable energy for Pennsylvania consumers. The hearing, titled "Balancing Your Budget and Thermostat: Consumer-Focused Energy Policy," featured testimonies from key industry experts.
Michael Butler, the mid-Atlantic executive director of the Consumer Energy Alliance, expressed concerns about potential negative impacts of proposed energy policies, stating, "Most importantly, these weak policies compromise Pennsylvanians' budgets and energy reliability."
Gregory, reflecting on the challenges faced by his constituents, remarked, "Every day, my neighbors in Blair County are telling me their household budgets are getting tighter and tighter." He emphasized his commitment to alleviating the financial burden on consumers.
Highlighting the significance of Pennsylvania's energy sector, Kail stated, "Pennsylvania is a net-energy generator, and we need to keep it that way so we can move our Commonwealth forward, our nation forward. The world is a better place with PA energy."
The state's energy industry plays a crucial role in the economy, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and contributing billions of dollars. Despite its importance, concerns have been raised about the potential negative impact of certain energy policies on investment opportunities, job security, and environmental sustainability.
Pennsylvania's energy landscape is a key focus of discussions as policymakers strive to strike a balance between affordability, reliability, and sustainability for consumers. The hearings aim to address these challenges and explore solutions to ensure that Pennsylvania remains a leader in the energy sector.
