@StateImpactPA Of the “violations” cited by @PennsylvaniaDEP for shale gas, 43% were issued or entered incorrectly & should not be recorded as violations. An accurate analysis shows the shale gas industry had a compliance rate of 96.6%.
Among the highest of any PA industry. @_rachelmcdevitt

Very cool to have some of my work recognized by SEJ as an honorable mention! This comment from the udges made my day: "McDevitt's knack for storytelling also makes climate change issues more accessible — and more engaging — for those who might otherwise look away."

We've heard this repeatedly from people: They get that there are big climate solutions (like transitioning to renewable energy), but they wonder, What can *I* do? @_rachelmcdevitt is answering that question in a new video series: stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2… @soljourno
