Another Alligator in the Kiski?!

The Steel City Classic fishing tournament will bring 70 fishers to the Kiski River this weekend, and they might be angling for more than just fish — another alligator was spotted over Labor Day weekend. How does this keep happening? In case you missed it, I shared the last alligator on the loose, Chompers, and Pittsburgh’s weird history of stray reptilians. [TribLIVE / Hey Pittsburgh]

A Comeback for Denis & Hollywood

Why Does PA Want Hydrogen Hubs?

The federal government is giving away billions of dollars to build hydrogen hubs across the country, and Pennsylvania lawmakers want in. They’re excited about hydrogen as a cleaner energy source than fossil fuels — and about the potential for new, well-paying jobs. But some environmental advocates worry that without the right regulations in place, these hubs won’t actually be as environmentally-friendly as they seem. Kate Huangpu, government reporter for Spotlight PA, joins us to break it all down.
