It doesn’t. PA shouldn’t foot the bill for decisions made in other states. ⬇️ 🤔

NJ, MD & VA don't have the energy to produce their own power & have never paid their fair share for the energy PA supplied to them. Once the Shapiro CAP was implemented, PA'ians are paying $60 more per MWh, while NJ, MD & VA pay nearly $110 less. How does this make sense?🤔

Pennsylvania continues to produce reliable, affordable energy. Our residents shouldn't be stuck footing the bill for energy shortages and rising prices created elsewhere. 💰💡🔌 ⬇️💻 senatorgeneyaw.com/2026/05/21/yaw…

Today we pause to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our great nation and in defense of liberty and freedom. We will never forget these brave men and women.

The decisions we’re making now will determine whether PA families and businesses have access to affordable and reliable electricity in the years ahead. Thanks for joining us, @SenRobinsonPA

Thanks to @SenatorGeneYaw for hosting a hearing at the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh today to provide a status update on our electric grid, and discuss how we can clear the way for new power generation to come online.

Today is “Purple Up! for Military Kids” Day in PA, a designation to recognize the sacrifices made by military children. @Sen_Pennycuick, @SenatorDush, @SenMastriano, @SenatorGeneYaw, @rothman_greg, & I sponsored legislation to honor PA’s military families: bit.ly/4dQLyHd

Food security is national security 🧑‍🌾🛡️ Proud to stand with Tioga County farmers today along with @SenatorGeneYaw and Rep. Clint Owlett. I’m fighting for a commonsense Farm Bill that puts American farmers first, cuts complexity, and gives PA agriculture the certainty to thrive.

Once again, @GovernorShapiro is importing failed ideas & putting politics over PA with this reckless lawsuit. We've seen what's happened in states with extreme climate policies - higher bills & less reliable power. Not here. We need to keep the lights on & the costs low.

BREAKING: I’m suing the Trump Administration over their dangerous assault on environmental protections. The science is clear: pollution is bad for our health, makes severe weather worse, and threatens farmers' crops — yet the Trump Administration is once again throwing that

Blaming PJM for higher rates is like blaming air traffic control for the price of an airline ticket. Energy costs more because we’re not producing enough of it thanks to failed renewable energy mandates & the threat of RGGI. Pointing fingers won’t lower costs @GovernorShapiro

13 million Pennsylvanians who rely on PJM — our grid operator — to keep the lights on are opening up their energy bills and wondering, what the hell is going on? Let me explain.

I thought @GovernorShapiro said he was tired of losing to “friggin Ohio.” They plugged more wells in 2024 alone than PA has in the past three years ⬇️

#DYK We've plugged 366 wells since 2023—more than the previous decade combined! This progress is twofold; thanks in large part to the focused efforts of the Shapiro Administration, which include increased procurement, field operations and oversight, and program management

Abandoned oil and gas wells pose safety and environmental risks. The Senate approved @SenatorGeneYaw and @SenBartolotta’s legislation to streamline plugging operations, eliminate uncertainty and accelerate cleanup efforts statewide. ℹ️ bit.ly/4rNpFge
