The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry joined with more than 20 organizations at the state capital on Tuesday to send a message to members of the General Assembly and the governor that higher energy taxes will hinder economic growth and put good paying jobs at risk.
The chamber, along with representatives from manufacturing, small business and education, sought to highlight the economic and job creation benefits of responsible shale gas development.
Said retired U.S. Army Capt. Tony Caldarelli, Vets4Energy volunteer chairmen in PA:
“The natural gas industry is key to the U.S. finally achieving energy security. The development of the Marcellus Shale play accounts for almost 40 percent of the nation’s natural gas production. To impede its development at this critical time will put America’s energy independence and national security and at risk, and this would put our service men and women at risk, again.”
