Two Rivers, 30 Minutes for 5-5-2023

Guest: Economist Nick Messenger of the Ohio River Valley Institute
How Topic Discussed: A new study concludes that without a major investment, the current steelmaking facilities at U.S. Steel's Mon Valley Works will be obsolete by 2031. What would it take to shift steelmaking in Pittsburgh from dependence on coal to use of hydrogen and renewable fuels? How could federal tax incentives pay for the shift? How many jobs depend on steelmaking in the Mon Valley area? Why is Pittsburgh uniquely positioned to take advantage of hydrogen and fossil-free fuels in the use of steelmaking? How can local, county, state and federal governments support private industry in making the shift?
