I am an all-of-the-above energy governor

[On energy sources]: "I am an all of the above energy governor. I am proud of the fact Pennsylvania is the second largest net energy exporter in the entire country," Mr. Shapiro said. "We have to generate more power. With more power comes more national security. More power means more independence. More power means more economic freedom."

Climate change is real and we have to address it

Let me be very clear, climate change is real, it is serious and we have to address it. And Joe Biden understand that. Donald Trump has made fun of climate change and denies its existence. Because of the federal dollars that have flowed to Pennsylvania we are positioned to get two regional hydrogen hubs that are going to help us combat climate change. So, when it comes to the kind of investments that are going to help spur on a clean energy economy, President Biden has been there.

Criminally charged multiple fracking companies

Josh has worked to safeguard Pennsylvanians' constitutional rights to clean air and pure water, cracking down on companies who recklessly endanger our communities and fighting efforts to roll back critical environmental protections. Following a two-year Grand Jury investigation, Josh criminally charged multiple fracking companies for repeated violations of Pennsylvania law, detailing the systemic failure of the state government and the fracking industry to protect Pennsylvanians' health and safety.
