Senator Dave McCormick announced that he will host the Inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh, Pa., in the first half of this year. The Summit will bring together the top leaders in energy and AI, alongside the biggest global investors, in an attempt to deliver on President Donald Trump's promise to unleash American energy, dominate in AI, and bring production back home to America.

"American energy dominance is good for the economy, good for the environment, and good for national security," McCormick said. "President Trump has promised to set America on the path to energy dominance once again, and that path runs through Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit will align the leading energy companies, the most innovative AI platforms, and global investors behind President Trump's energy agenda. Together, we can unleash a new age of energy production and power the AI and technological revolution."

In response to McCormick's questions, Secretary of Energy nominee Chris Wright and Secretary of the Interior nominee Doug Burgum endorsed the Summit during their respective nomination hearings last week.

Pennsylvania has three key assets of the technology revolution: huge energy resources, a skilled workforce, and proximity to major population centers. It is the second largest energy producing state with the 4th largest natural gas reserves in the entire world and a leading nuclear sector. With world-class universities, research institutions, and a highly skilled labor force, Pennsylvania has the workforce required to lead the AI revolution. The Keystone State can lead the way on energy dominance and innovation for America.
