[MEDIA] Andrew Lewis on ‘Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words’

Pennsylvania’s Policy Battles: Energy Independence, School Choice, and America 250

Andrew Lewis, President & CEO of the Commonwealth Foundation, joins “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” to discuss why Pennsylvania matters nationally and how state-based think tanks turn free-market ideas into laws.

Lewis highlights Pennsylvania’s historic role, its position atop the Marcellus and Utica Shale, and the opportunities from being a major electricity exporter, while warning that renewable mandates can threaten grid reliability and affordability, citing New York’s higher costs and Spain’s blackout.

He critiques Governor Josh Shapiro’s “Lightning” plan to raise renewable requirements and discusses Commonwealth’s policy focus areas, including energy, taxes and spending, regulatory reform, and union reform.
