I support locally produced renewable energy for the following reasons:
Economic Growth: Solar and wind projects create new local jobs, strengthen the Pennsylvania economy, and support
small businesses.
Community Investment: Renewable energy brings new tax revenue to Pennsylvania communities, helping to fund schools, roads, and emergency services without raising taxes.
Private Property Rights: Landowners should have the freedom to lease their land for renewable energy projects, creating new income opportunities while benefiting the community.
Energy Independence: Expanding homegrown renewable energy reduces reliance on foreign oil and strengthens Pennsylvania’s energy security.
Healthier Communities: Renewable energy reduces pollution, leading to cleaner air, safer drinking water, and healthier families.
