"While government, energy, tech and banking leaders held a summit, protestors warned of worsening climate pollution and a future shaped by “the worst people on Earth.”"
"PITTSBURGH—Flanked by titans of the fossil fuel, tech and finance industries, President Donald Trump on Tuesday hailed $90 billion in private investments aimed at building a massive artificial intelligence hub around Pennsylvania’s natural gas resources.
“This is a really triumphant day for the people of the Commonwealth and for the United States of America,” Trump said. “Today’s commitments are ensuring the future will be designed and built right here in Pennsylvania, right here in Pittsburgh, and I have to say, the United States of America.”
Touted by Trump as the largest private investment in the state’s history, the plan would solidify a market for the abundant natural gas resources that have made Pennsylvania the nation’s No. 2 producer, second only to Texas. It also would support a major expansion of fossil fuel production in defiance of the science showing that the world needs to drive down greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."
