PENNSYLVANIA'S NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY
(Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, Northeast Pennsylvania is home to a world-
class energy industry that is creating prosperity and opportunities for our students, families, and economy. It is one of those things that you must see to believe.
That is why I recently hosted my colleagues from the Western Caucus, Representatives Yvette Herrell and Chairman Dan Newhouse, to see firsthand the widespread benefits of Pennsylvania's natural gas industry.
We saw how students are being prepared for good-paying energy jobs at the Lackawanna College's School of Petroleum and Natural Gas and the Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center. We experienced the sheer volume of natural gas production at an active drilling site, the Williams' Potter Compressor Station and Coterra Energy's natural gas wells.
To put Pennsylvania's energy dominance into perspective, one well in Susquehanna County produces as much natural gas as 4,000 wells in West Virginia. This energy means national security, a stronger workforce, and lower energy costs.
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleagues for taking time to see the great work happening in Pennsylvania. We must protect it.
