Mr. Lamb, in an interview Wednesday, characterized the moves as consistent with what Mr. Biden campaigned on. Mr. Biden’s overall plan to revive the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he said, will have a far greater impact on Western Pennsylvania energy jobs than the public lands moratorium or the Keystone pipeline cancellation. “His policies are overall going to lift demand for labor and grow the economy in that way,†Mr. Lamb said, pointing to Mr. Biden’s “Buy American†executive order this week and his pledges to rebuild infrastructure. “I’ve always argued that, if anything, that drilling ban helps Western Pennsylvania because we drill on private land here so they’ll be more demand for our gas,†Mr. Lamb added.
