While many Democratic (blue) states like California and New york are moving away from fossil fuels, Pennsylvania stands out as a potential &#8220;exception&#8221; due to its status as a politically mixed (&#8220;purple&#8221;) state. Zimmermann highlights Governor Josh Shapiro&#8217;s willingness to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-give-state-of-the-union-address-on-march-7\/\" title=\"Biden&#039;s State of the Union address set for March 7\">seek bipartisan cooperation<\/a> on energy issues, including reducing regulations and exploring diverse energy sources. This stance is underscored by a recent artificial intelligence summit in Pittsburgh attended by Shapiro,former President Donald Trump,and Senator Dave McCormick,where trump announced over $90 billion in AI investments powered by the region&#8217;s natural gas,nuclear,and coal resources. Pennsylvania&#8217;s unique political and energy landscape suggests it could play a important role in the national push to &#8220;unleash American energy.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">David Zimmermann predicts Pennsylvania will join &lsquo;unleash American energy&rsquo; bandwagon<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2173750\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner <\/em>breaking news reporter David Zimmermann suggested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pennsylvania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Pennsylvania<\/a> could join the movement among red states to develop more energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Alabama, Ohio, and South Carolina are the latest states to draft legislation on energy production since President Donald Trump took office.
