The survey, conducted by Axis Research, highlighted the negative impact this \u2064decision would\u200c have on jobs and communities in\u200b Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>According to the poll, 41% of voters stated that they are \u2064now more likely to vote \u2063against Biden due to his suspension of \u2064approvals\u200d for new LNG export facilities. However, 22% of voters expressed increased support for \u200dthe President.<\/p>\n<p>In the Scranton media market, the number of voters \u2064opposed to Biden&#8217;s decision rises to a majority \u2062of 55%.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns from \u200bDemocratic Leaders<\/h3>\n<p>The Biden \u200cadministration&#8217;s announcement on January 26 to halt the approval of new licenses for LNG exports due to climate change\u2063 has faced criticism from\u2062 Democratic Senators \u200cJohn Fetterman \u2064and Bob\u2063 Casey. In a joint statement,\u2062 they expressed their intention to urge Biden to reverse his decision, emphasizing the importance of the \u200bLNG industry in creating\u2062 jobs and promoting energy independence.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Governor Josh Shapiro has \u2062warned the Biden administration that the pause on LNG exports should be brief.\u2063 He stressed the need to prioritize job creation in the energy\u2062 sector in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on Pennsylvania&#8217;s \u2062Economy<\/h3>\n<p>Pennsylvania \u200cis the second-largest natural gas-producing state \u200bin the US, after Texas. The industry employs around 125,000 people\u2062 in the state, contributing over $41 billion to the state&#8217;s economy in 2022, according to a report by FTI Consulting.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-ukraine-war-rekindles-europes-demand-for-african-oil-and-gas\/\" title=\"Analysis: Ukraine war rekindles Europe\u2019s demand for African oil and gas\">natural gas output<\/a> in \u2063Pennsylvania amounts to \u200d7.5 trillion\u2064 cubic\u200d feet, heating \u2062over half of the state&#8217;s households.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s decision on LNG exports is just one of several administration choices that\u200c have negatively affected Pennsylvania&#8217;s economy. The closure of the Cleveland-Cliff&#8217;s Weirton \u200bplant and \u200dthe potential \u200cshutdown \u2063of the Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works have\u2063 raised \u2063concerns among local Democrats.<\/p>\n<h3>Voters&#8217; Concerns and Poll Results<\/h3>\n<p>A recent survey\u2063 commissioned\u200b by the Pennsylvania\u200c Energy \u2062Infrastructure Alliance \u2064revealed that 84% of Pennsylvania\u200d voters\u200d believe the suspension of LNG exports\u2062 poses a threat to thousands of well-paying jobs in the\u200d natural gas industry.<\/p>\n<p>The poll also indicated that \u200da majority \u200cof voters prioritize the \u200beconomy and cost of living, with only 3% expressing a desire \u200cfor the state to focus on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>The Axis Research poll, conducted online from February 25 to \u200b27, surveyed 601 Pennsylvania voters, with a majority identifying as independent \u2064or Democratic voters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to\u200c read more from\u200b the Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u2063could the moratorium on LNG exports impact job \u200ccreation in Pennsylvania&#8217;s natural gas industry?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Facilities has\u200d raised concerns among some Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania. \u2063These leaders argue that the moratorium could\u200c have significant \u2062economic implications for the state, which is a major producer \u2063of natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania&#8217;s natural gas industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, \u200bthanks in large \u200dpart to hydraulic \u2062fracturing, or fracking. This \u2063industry has \u200ccreated jobs and stimulated economic development in many parts of the state. The moratorium on\u200b LNG\u2063 exports could \u200bthreaten these gains \u200band the livelihoods of many Pennsylvanians.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main concerns among Democratic leaders is the impact on job \u200dcreation. \u200dThe natural gas industry\u2064 supports thousands of jobs\u2064 in Pennsylvania, including in \u200dmanufacturing, construction, and\u2064 related industries. By halting new\u200c LNG export facilities, the\u2063 Biden administration could potentially stifle job growth and hinder economic recovery in the\u2062 state.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some Democratic leaders argue that the moratorium\u2064 could have negative consequences for local communities. The revenue generated from natural gas production has been crucial for funding schools, infrastructure projects, and other public services. Without\u2063 the ability \u200bto export LNG, Pennsylvania may lose out on valuable revenue streams, putting \u200bthese \u2062essential \u2062services at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the moratorium \u200balso highlight the potential impact on energy prices. LNG exports have\u2062 helped to diversify the global energy market, providing\u2064 competition to traditional oil and gas suppliers.\u2063 By limiting exports, the Biden administration \u200ccould inadvertently \u2062increase \u200cenergy prices for \u200bconsumers both \u200bdomestically and\u200d internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the moratorium, on the other hand, argue that it is necessary to address environmental concerns\u2063 and prioritize the development\u2063 of renewable energy sources. They believe that by reducing reliance on fossil fuels,\u2062 the country \u200bcan mitigate the impacts of \u2064climate change and transition to\u200b a more \u200bsustainable future.<\/p>\n<p>However, the results of this poll\u200d indicate that the majority of Pennsylvania\u2064 voters do not support President \u200dBiden&#8217;s\u2063 decision \u2062to impose a moratorium on LNG exports. This \u200dhighlights the importance of considering the economic implications\u200b of such policies, \u2063particularly in states where the\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-small-state-is-sending-a-big-message-to-joe-biden\/\" title=\"Tiny state sends powerful message to Biden\">natural gas industry plays<\/a> a vital role.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, it will be essential for the Biden administration to engage with stakeholders in Pennsylvania and other natural gas-producing\u200b states to address their concerns and find common ground. Balancing environmental\u2064 priorities with economic considerations is a complex task, but it is crucial to ensure a just and sustainable energy transition that does not leave\u200b communities behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Pennsylvania poll revealed that 58% of voters oppose President Joe Biden&#8217;s ban on liquefied natural gas exports.
