Pennsylvania VFW Warns Skill Game Revenue Loss Will Harm Veteran Organizations

Pennsylvania VFW Warns Skill Game Revenue Loss Will Harm Veteran Organizations

The Pennsylvania Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) has issued a warning that a potential loss of revenue from skill games could severely impact veteran organizations across the state. The ongoing debate in Harrisburg regarding the regulation and legality of skill games is not confined to legislative chambers; it directly affects the financial stability of these groups. According to KDKA's Shelley Bortz, the outcome of decisions made by lawmakers could determine whether some veteran organizations can continue their operations. These skill games often provide a significant source of funding for VFW posts and other veteran-focused non-profits, which rely on these funds to support their community programs, services for veterans, and operational costs. The controversy surrounding skill games involves their classification and whether they constitute illegal gambling, a distinction that has led to legal challenges and legislative efforts to either ban, regulate, or legalize them. The VFW's statement highlights the b...

Data Centers Drive Surge in Natural Gas Power Plant Proposals Across U.S.

Data Centers Drive Surge in Natural Gas Power Plant Proposals Across U.S.

New data from the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA) indicates a significant increase in proposals for grid-connected natural gas power plants across the United States. Since early 2023, these proposals have nearly tripled, and they have risen by almost half in the last eight months alone. This surge is primarily attributed to the rapidly growing electricity demand from data centers. In contrast, planned additions of solar power have stalled, and wind power additions have dramatically fallen. The EIA's filings for plant additions starting in August 2026 include plans for 60.4 gigawatts (GW) of additional gas capacity by the end of 2030, a 44% increase from the 41.8 GW forecast in December 2025. This marks a reversal from previous trends towards a cleaner grid. Texas leads this natural gas buildout with 20 GW of planned new capacity, accounting for nearly a third of all proposed new grid-connected gas plant capacity through 2030. Louisiana follows with 6.6 GW, Pennsylvania with 4.4 GW, Oklahoma...
