Energy Policy Now
Union Leaders Push Clean Energy Jobs Agenda in Pennsylvania

Energy Policy Now

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 7, 2025 72:30


With federal funding being pulled back, leaders of Pennsylvania’s top labor unions push state policy to deliver clean energy jobs. --- For generations, union members have mined Pennsylvania’s coal, run its power plants, and built its energy infrastructure, helping make the state a top fossil fuel producer and electricity exporter. Now, renewable energy offers the promise of growth, but questions remain about the long-term jobs it will provide. In 2024, the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO and the Building and Construction Trades Council formed Union Energy, with support from the Climate Jobs National Resource Center. The coalition was launched to leverage the Inflation Reduction Act to ensure new clean energy investment creates good-paying union jobs and broad community benefits. But with federal funding now being pulled back, state policy is now central. In Pennsylvania, where clean energy targets haven’t been updated in two decades, Governor Josh Shapiro has proposed a “Lightning Plan” with new standards, a cap-and-invest program, and streamlined permitting. Union Energy wants to help shape what comes next. On the podcast, Union Energy’s leaders — Angela Ferritto, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, and Robert Bair, president of the Pennsylvania Building Trades — discuss the impact of recent policy shifts on their members, policies to expand clean energy with strong labor standards, and their vision for Pennsylvania’s energy future.

Guest host Dom Giordano fills in for Rich on this episode. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) breaks down the Senate's passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, what it means for spending reform, and the next battle as it heads to the House. He outlines how the bill could reshape America's economy and strengthen conservative priorities once signed into law. Then, Charles "Cully" Stimson of the Deputy Director of Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation joins to discuss the shocking plea deal for Brian Kohberger, the Idaho student murder suspect. Once facing the death penalty, Kohberger will now serve life in prison—raising deep legal and ethical questions. Stimson also explores the taxpayer impact of high-profile prosecutions. Stacy Garrity, Pennsylvania State Treasurer, weighs in on the economic benefits of the Big Beautiful Bill and addresses a brewing scandal involving Governor Josh Shapiro's alleged misuse of taxpayer funds for luxury perks at the U.S. Open. Finally, Scott Jennings, CNN contributor and former presidential advisor, discusses how the bill targets Medicaid fraud, and the growing tension between Elon Musk and Donald Trump as the two titans clash over policy direction and influence.

Governor Josh Shapiro and Democrats in the state Senate are blasting President Donald Trump’s domestic spending plan. Shapiro told reporters that half a million Pennsylvanians could lose access to health care through Medicaid or other programs. Meantime, in Harrisburg, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania’s politically divided Legislature have missed Pennsylvania’s deadline to pass a budget for the new fiscal year, amid closed-door talks to try to produce a compromise. Shapiro said at a news conference he anticipates negotiators will agree on a plan "very soon.” UPMC headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh is the site of recent rallies. Julia Maruca from our friends at WESA explains, protesters are speaking out against the nonprofit's plans to end gender affirming care for patients under the age 19. A longtime Pennsylvania congressman is announcing he won't seek reelection. U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans, a Philadelphia Democrat, is capping a 45-year career in public office. Heavy rain is causing flooding at a popular Lancaster County park set to host one of the region’s most popular 4th of July celebrations.

While Pennsylvania lawmakers haggle over the state budget, liberal advocacy groups are using protests to call for higher taxes on billionaires to fund public services. In 1979, Three Mile Island was the site of what is often called the worst nuclear power accident on U.S. soil. Our colleague Jaxon White, from LNP | LancasterOnline, has the latest on the restarting of the Island’s nuclear reactor. Environmental groups say Tokyo-based Nippon Steel’s recent purchase of U.S. Steel should lead to cleaner operations at the company’s Pittsburgh-area plants. But they haven’t heard much from the Japanese steelmaker. New disclosures with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show President Trump will control the so-called “golden share," as part of the national security agreement under which he allowed Japan-based Nippon Steel to buy out iconic American steelmaker U.S. Steel. With the state budget deadline approaching, the company that owns “skill game” terminals throughout Pennsylvania says lawmakers have pushed it out of discussions on how the industry should be regulated. Taxing the casino-style games is a key part of Governor Josh Shapiro’s budget, one that would raise hundreds of millions of dollars to fund schools and public transit. The former captain of a Dauphin County fire company is wanted by police after missing two court appearances earlier this year. A Dauphin County judge issued a bench warrant for 55-year-old Steven Bartholomew’s arrest in March.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 119: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Senator Lisa Murkowski may be the most important person in the country right now. Her public confession that she too is afraid of the Trump nightmare and her HINTS at talking to Senate colleagues ABOUT her fear – could provide just enough Republican rebellion to rein Trump in. It feels as if she just got it, as if she just understood that yes Trump is Nazi-esque and yes Trump often emulates the Soviets but the closest parallel to him is O'Brien and "The Party" in Orwell's "1984" and the simple terrifying conviction that "the object of power is power." That's why I think when Kristi Garden Noem and Secretary of Defense (and Vodka) Hegseth (if he's still on the job after ANOTHER Signal chat came to light) file their report on the border to Trump this week and tell him no, they don't need to invoke The Insurrection Act, he may do it anyway because... the object of power is power. Murkowski and thirteen other Republican Senators and at most four Republican Representatives can stop this. They can save the country. They can impeach Trump or if they still can’t get over the hump, the 18 of you can use the THREAT to impeach him, to virtually fetter him, to at least control the width and breadth of his damage, to make him know the Senate WILL vote against him. She can also talk to anybody on the Supreme Court except Alito or Thomas. The other seven, in the middle of the damn night - at 1 AM Saturday - stepped in to freeze any further disappearing Americans under the phony premise of The Alien Enemies Act. And there is reason to hope that these Murkowski-led conversations might happen before the iron curtain of dictatorship descends: Later in her confession of fear, she hinted at doing exactly what I just suggested. Meanwhile, how many times can you self-destruct on this? Gavin Newsom dismisses the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case as a "distraction" and calls Democrats sheep for defending the constitution. On the other hand, Senator Ed Markey is crafting a sense of the senate resolution stating Trump cannot again be elected, and cannot again serve, as president or vice president. Damn Straight. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Musk Crappertruck Owner who claims to also be a "girl dad"; Pennsylvania congressman Dan Meuser kinda blames Governor Josh Shapiro's criticizing Trump for provoking the attempt to incinerate him and his family in the governor's mansion on Passover. And Trump DEI hire Pam Bondi lies that compulsive martyr and 85th Place Olympic Trials finisher Riley Gaines "went to the Olympics." Not unless she bought a ticket, Pam Blondie. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The renewed Trump bid to ban the Associated Press got me talking to a friend: How MANY times have I been banned, as a reporter? Do you mean this century, or in total? It's... a lot. From the LA Clippers to the ESPN Campus, I've been banned... a lot. And je ne regret rien!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- During a press briefing on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was joined by Patty Morin—mother of Rachel Morin who was killed by MS-13 gang member Victor Martinez. Morin called out Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) for failing to reach out to her family but finding time to rail against the Trump Administration for deporting dangerous migrants who entered the country unlawfully. Leavitt revealed that the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia sought a restraining order against him in 2021, citing domestic abuse. Abrego Garcia—a migrant who was in the United States illegally before being deported to El Salvador—was allegedly a member of MS-13, according to the Trump White House. 5:15pm- Cody Balmer, a 38-year-old Harrisburg man, was charged with setting fire to the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion. Balmer threw two Molotov cocktails into the residence and planned to beat Governor Josh Shapiro with a hammer. Thankfully, Shapiro and his family were unharmed. According to reports, Balmer was motivated by his support for Palestine—and his disdain for Shapiro's Jewish faith and support for Israel. Rich notes: Democrats clearly have an anti-Semitism problem. 5:30pm- During a press conference on Wednesday, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. announced that his department is planning a series of new studies to identify the cause of Autism. 5:40pm- According to Politico, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) has raised $9.6 million in 3-months.
