1. Fracker Cracker Tom Corbett strikes again.

"Despite recent claims that China's solar industry is being unfairly subsidized, hurting U.S. companies, Foltz said Gov. Tom Corbett's administration is the problem, not China."

"He is so against renewable energy, it's a crime," Foltz said, adding that she believes Corbett is "100 percent backed" by Marcellus Shale companies who see solar energy as a competitor. Foltz also claimed that tax credits for oil and gas exploration dwarf what's given to solar firms."

"Pillar said that in 2005, Pennsylvania was a national leader in legislation supporting the solar industry, but has now fallen far behind neighboring states such as New Jersey that have more robust subsidies."

It's so typical of him to let jobs just leave Pennsylvania.
