Additional notes:  There is NO language in this bill that would prohibit foreign entities from acquiring PA land.   BP, Sunoco, Shell, Exxon, etc. are all on board for this bill, likely because they think the writing is on the wall and oil and gas are going down because of the globalist agenda.  The unions are also on board because they will expand unions this way.  The Dems that are opposed to this bill are opposed because they favor “green” hydrogen that uses water to split atoms into hydrogen and oxygen, only it takes a MASSIVE amount of energy, and in order for it to be “green” it has to use a renewable source like solar or wind.  This bill provides for “blue” hydrogen, which uses natural gas and creates carbon as a byproduct that they then want to store so it’s considered climate friendly.  This is the only avenue oil and gas see to keep their piece of the pie because of its necessity for natural gas use.  Make no mistake though, Shapiro’s push for PA to be on 30% renewable energy by 2030 is a massive affront to oil and gas.  Between the Fiedler bill (HB2338) and this one, they are seeking to decimate PA’s oil and gas industry, and we are the country’s number one supplier of liquid gas (or at least was before they shut down Keystone pipeline).
