Under PACER, 70% of the revenue will be directed back to Pennsylvania residents as a rebate on their electric bill – more than any other cap-and-invest program in the nation – resulting in long-term, price relief on energy costs. The benefits of PACER will be passed on directly to Pennsylvania consumers.

This is a signal not only of the country’s unhealthy reliance on fossil fuels but also a failure to move away from gas in a way that other countries have done successfully. In addition, they should rapidly phase out gas for electricity, but of course only if the electricity is produced by nuclear or renewable energy.
