Looking for something productive to do while stressing today? Matt Dalbey and I have a new @rff report about the "Energy Communities" IWG. We document the origins, key activities, and lessons learned as the IWG seeks to support an equitable transition. rff.org/publications/reports…

What's going on here? Well, PA is a big state with major metro areas. What's more, most major PA producers are headquartered in TX and OK. That said, the industry is quite important in some more rural parts of the state, primarily in the southwest and northeast. 3/4
