Pennsylvania is a big state, with a lot of people who depend on fracking for economic stability
Factually untrue, but I only saw your comment because I hadn’t signed in yet, it seems you’re already on my block list but wanted to provide the answer for others:
I did the math yesterday, 0.5% of people in PA work in any field related to fossil fuels.
The confusion is it’s an absolute shit ton of state gdp, it’s just very few people are employed in the I dustry and most make bad pay in terrible conditions.
But fossil fuel production can’t exactly pack up a mountain and .over it to a friendlier state like other industries.
