Atlantic Sunrise is Essential
As your constituent, I want you to know that I continue to be concerned over the economic slowdown in the Commonwealth – specifically as it relates to Pennsylvania's natural gas industry. The Commonwealth has emerged as a critical state in our country’s energy future, yet it is well documented that the region does not have the necessary infrastructure to connect Pennsylvania’s gas production with other consuming markets. In fact, it has been reported that as many as a quarter of the wells drilled in the Marcellus Shale to date still do not have a way to move natural gas to customers. Without new pipelines to transport natural gas, we will continue to see a slowdown in natural gas industry and as a result, less investment, job layoffs and a reduction in taxes generated. That is why I ask that you prioritize energy infrastructure in Pennsylvania and lend your support to Williams’ Atlantic Sunrise pipeline project. Atlantic Sunrise is a multi-billion-dollar private investment that will expand the state’s energy infrastructure and provide an opportunity to put thousands of Pennsylvanians to work. It also will help millions of American homes and businesses gain access to affordable, reliable, environmentally responsible and domestically produced natural gas. At every level, Williams has taken a collaborative approach when working with landowners, regulators and other stakeholders to plan and develop this much-needed pipeline and has also worked extensively to minimize the environmental impacts associated with this project. There is a growing demand for energy and as we look to resources to meet that demand, natural gas makes the most sense. It's reliable, cost-effective, and best of all -- it's right here in our state. This is why I strongly believe it is important that our leaders in Harrisburg recognize the state and national significance of this critical energy infrastructure project. Please prioritize energy infrastructure in Pennsylvania and support Atlantic Sunrise today. Sincerely,
