(More of the same from the right-wing-corporate-FASCIST-party in PA., owned and operated as a subsidiary of the corporate-SCUM.)
Pennsylvania House Republicans are pushing to give a multimillion-dollar handout to the fracking industry.
They're pushing a package of bills--dubiously called the "Marcellus Works" package by their supporters--that would create huge subsidies to incentivize the production of vehicles that run on fracked natural gas. Three bills have already passed in the House and are headed for the Senate. The rest could come up for a floor vote very soon.1 2 3
Pennsylvanians are already suffering from the toxic effects of fracking. It's unconscionable to try to expand the demand for fracked gas by subsidizing a natural gas vehicle buildout at government expense.
Tell the Pennsylvania General Assembly: Don't waste millions of dollars subsidizing fracked natural gas vehicles.
As all too many Pennsylvanians know, fracking is a serious threat to the health of nearby communities, not a formula for economic growth. Subsidies for the fracking industry may increase the industry's profits, but they'll hurt Pennsylvanians.
Furthermore, plowing millions of dollars into natural gas vehicles and fueling stations makes no sense when we know that we have to transition off of fossil fuels, including natural gas, to avoid climate catastrophe.
Encouraging a buildout of fracked gas infrastructure is a dangerous waste of money and a craven handout to the fracking industry. We need to shame the legislators responsible for this package of bills and encourage more moderate legislators to kill the legislation.
Tell the Pennsylvania General Assembly: Don't waste millions of dollars subsidizing fracked natural gas vehicles.
