Through technological advancements, we are able to allow certain power plants in Western Pennsylvania and across our nation convert coal refuse into cheap, domestic energy while restoring our environment back to its natural state. Already, the coal-refuse-to-energy industry has cleaned up more than 200 million tons of abandoned coal heaps in Pennsylvania. It is also important these plants remain open so good jobs are saved to support families. For these reasons, I am committed to working with my colleagues to get this bill passed through the House.” You can read more on the SENSE Act here. -30-	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
