                  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.
