Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's recent public appearances and policy proposals have sparked a mix of reactions. During a public information meeting for a hydrogen hub project at the Steamfitters Local 420 union hall in Northeast Philadelphia, Shapiro was interrupted by audience members shouting in disapproval. The meeting, aimed at promoting hydrogen energy, saw both environmentalists and union members expressing their discontent. Additionally, Shapiro has unveiled a plan to combat climate change by proposing legislation that would require power plant owners in Pennsylvania to pay for their greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative positions Pennsylvania as potentially the first major fossil fuel-producing state to adopt a carbon-pricing program. Critics, however, argue that Shapiro's carbon tax and progressive energy schemes, part of a broader $1.5 billion annual spending in corporate welfare, could harm families and break promises.

Gov. @JoshShapiroPA’s presser on “PA’s energy future” was scheduled to begin at 10:15…it’s now 10:30 and nothing has started. This is a great example of the “reliability” we can expect from the intermittent energy sources he plans to coerce into Pennsylvania #PaPolitics

Governor Shapiro is fond of claiming Pennsylvania is behind other states in terms of spending on "economic development"--or corporate welfare. In reality, Pennsylvania spends around $1.5 billion annual in corporate welfare, and these programs don't work. https://t.co/c5ICkx3T9w

Maryland looking at tax hikes "because lawmakers have already approved billions in public education spending without a way to pay for it." This could be Pennsylvania's future if we follow @GovernorShapiro's #PABudget https://t.co/la6wLBPAVA
