Last week, I had the opportunity to meet Kaden, a student from Greater Latrobe Senior High School and congratulate him on his acceptance to the prestigious NASA STEM Enhancement in Earth and Space Science (SEES) Summer Internship at the University of Texas at Austin Center for Space Research. More than 3,000 applications were received for the coveted 118 on-site internship positions.
Congratulations, Kaden!โญ๏ธ
A little late to the trendโฆ hereโs my take on it.
PA rate payers are paying for other states who canโt produce enough energy on their own yet create green climate cash grab policies that keep them dependent on us. This creates horror stories for PA families.
Have you visited historical @valleyforgepark before? If not, right around the semiquincentennial would be a great time to plan a visit! They have some great events planned on and leading up to the fourth!
