[PA Engineer]

Indeed. Pennsylvania is the second largest energy producer after Texas and exports a lot to large cities on the east coast.

I live in PA and am very familiar with the terrain. Has anyone driven across the state? It is the gateway to the west. Who is going to hold PA? There are only two routes across the Appalachians and Laurels. Pennsylvania will not be part of this dream and will be impossible to hold. Period.

Only Philadelphia will fall in this "game." The majority of PA do not see themselves as part of the northeast. Midwest? Maybe.

A tad off topic but three of my grandkids from New England attend college in PA-——three different schools. :-)
