Pennsylvania’s senators are sponsoring legislation to move the Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy from Washington to Pittsburgh.
Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican, and Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat, last week teamed up to introduce the bill, which would force the move a year after passage.
“For far too long, federal agencies in Washington have been physically removed from the workers and industries they regulate,” McCormick said in a statement.

“I’m proud to partner with Senator Fetterman on this legislation to bring a critical Energy Department office to Pittsburgh near the heart of the Marcellus.”
