Pennsylvania can and must play a crucial part in the country’s energy independence. Its vast coal and natural gas resources can supply much of the electricitity for the eastern part of the United States. If production of electric and natural gas powered vehicles continues to increase Pennsylvania will benefit as demand for its resources will increase. It is time to push for greater American manufacturing of those vehicles rather than japanese manufacturing as this can provide both relief for Michigan’s auto industry as well as Pennsylvania’s energy sector. The price of natural gas and coal energy is substantially lower than oil and more use of it will provide a sudden economic boost as more businesses and homes will be able to afford cheaper energy and use their savings on commodities and other spending.
