UNDATED – State Representative Mike Armanini is warning that Pennsylvania needs to increase its electricity generation to avoid future blackouts.
Armanini says that natural gas could provide new electricity generation, while existing coal plants remain vital in keeping the grid reliable.

Armanini also says that lawmakers have been warned that the state could face blackouts by 2035 without these measures.
