Rendell has charged the Department of Environmental Protection with turning Pennsylvania’s environmental challenges into economic opportunities. Under this innovative leadership, Pennsylvania is protecting its citizens and the environment, revitalizing communities, and developing a clean energy future that has translated into more jobs and substantial investment in the commonwealth. More homegrown energy also reduces our dependence on foreign energy, enhancing our security and keeping energy dollars close to home."<BR/><BR/>I believe that the PA DEP focuses a lot more on energy development (gas drilling) than environmental protection. How can one agency do both effectively? And with the current scarcity of funds, the DEP is consolidating departments and expecting less people to do more work. Accountability will go out the window.Peacegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098424765852560323noreply@blogger.com
