“Despite record natural gas production in Pennsylvania, residents face soaring electricity rates as companies export the resource to higher-paying markets, leaving many unable to afford basic heating and cooling.” — Read the article below.

Fracking was supposed to lower Pennsylvania electric bills. Instead they’re soaring.

The average household electricity bill in the state has risen 31% since 2020, outpacing the national average despite record gas production.

Fracking has no redeeming virtues, except perhaps for opportunistic investors who are unconcerned about the harm it causes.

KEEP IT IN THE GROUND.

The energy interests promote false hopes of short-term savings and hometown opportunities for good jobs. These don’t materialize, but once the permits are issued and the drilling and fracking happens, the negative effects are long term and permanent.

The energy industry takes no responsibility for this, but it’s clearly acts of men, not God, causing this. KEEP IT IN THE GROUND.

Some of our politicians would have you believe that deregulation of energy production would be a good thing. The propaganda assures us that drilling can be done safely and won’t do harm.

Our experience where the government fails to exert control is, frankly, ugly. The damage is visible, and for people who live off the land, it can be an existential threat. Reading this article will convince you that nothing good comes to locals when big energy is unfettered.
