Electricity rates have been plummeting in PA. As of this month we are paying less than 7 cents a kilowatt hour (generation fee).

The reason for the low rates is that most of our electricity comes from nat gas. Nat gas prices are very low right now. Plus there is a new nat gas power plant coming on line in three years in the Williamsport area that will serve about 3/4 million people.

The state is making a ton of money off the nat gas boom. Even liberal politicians are going to be very reluctant to shut this down as demanded by the loony left.

I’m sure on the east and west coasts this would not be the case, but Pa, Oh, etc are not going to easily give in to the lunatic fringe.
