The Pennsylvania governor’s record has been, at best, mercurial. The restrictions—up to a mile in distance—would shut down gas drilling and increase energy prices, according to industry sources. In Governor Kathy Hochul’s New York, regulators approved a pipeline to move Pennsylvania natural gas to New York City and Long Island. In New Jersey and Virginia, incoming governors campaigned for lower energy prices while remaining loyal to costly green policies. Although supporters of largely Democratic environmental policies claim that their favored green technologies lower energy prices, the evidence says otherwise.
