Several PA Third Actors, including Phyllis and Elisabeth, lobbied in Harrisburg today with the @conservationvoterspa and @pennfuture
We spoke with lawmakers about several bills that would bring more renewable energy to PA.
๐HB2184, for example, aims to put the PUBLIC back in the Public Utility Commission, defining "public interest" and requiring that the commission consider affordability and the development of renewable energy and storage.
๐HB2359 would require transparency from AI data centers and ban non-disclosure agreements. Third Act PA is also calling for a moratorium on AI data centers.
