In this episode of Alternative Power Plays, hosts Alan Seltzer
and Elizabeth Rosentel, a Senior Advisor in Buchanan's state
government relations group, interview Pennsylvania State House
Representative Greg Vitali, who has dedicated decades to
environmental and energy issues. As the first legislator in
Pennsylvania to introduce climate change legislation and propose a
severance tax on natural gas, Representative Vitali shares his
journey from community environmental activism to chairing the
Environmental Resources and Energy Committee.
This episode covers the challenges and opportunities in advancing
renewable energy policies, as well as the political dynamics of
Pennsylvania's energy landscape. The trio explore community
solar, net metering, electric vehicle infrastructure, and the
changing demand for electricity.
Representative Vitali emphasizes the obstacles posed by bipartisan
governance, the influence of industry and labor unions, and the
urgent need for climate action in light of evolving federal and
state dynamics.
