DEP Secretary Nominee Sparks Controversy Over Collaboration with Left-Wing Group
A concerning situation has emerged in Pennsylvania, involving the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and its apparent collaboration with a far-left advocacy group. This alignment seems intended to deflect attention from shortcomings in the policies of Governor Josh Shapiro. Questions are being raised about the leadership of DEP's "Acting" Secretary, Jessica Shirley, with calls for the Pennsylvania Senate to reconsider and reject her confirmation. Shirley's association with Evergreen Action has drawn criticism, particularly regarding the promotion of a report issued by Synapse Energy Economics. This report, originating from an organization known for its alignment with left-leaning interests, presents accusations against the PJM Interconnection electric grid, alleging a flawed process for approving new electric generation projects. The nature of this partnership and the validity of the claims made in the report are now under intense scrutiny.
