On Oct. 4, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was alerted to a seismic event near EQT’s Porter well pad in Allegheny Township off Willowbrook Road.

Williamsport Businesses Begin Accepting Bitcoin Payments

Walk into a coffee shop in Williamsport or a boutique along Fourth Street, and the cash register still clicks the way it always has. But look a little closer at the tablet beside it, and something new is creeping in.

That second part matters more than it might seem. As folks get comfortable moving digital currency for everyday purchases, many of them carry that same comfort over to how they relax. One of the fastest-growing corners of mobile entertainment is crypto-based gaming, and anyone curious about how it works can start with this guide , which ranks and reviews the best mobile crypto casinos for 2026.

Pennsylvania Has 4 Restored Grist Mills Where Water Wheels Still Turn For Visitors

One Pennsylvania mill lets you eat breakfast while a 24-foot water wheel turns on the other side of the glass. I love that detail. It makes pancakes feel like a field trip. That mill is not the only one still at work. Across the state, old wheels keep scooping creek water and spinning heavy stones.

Customers Who Shop for Energy Suppliers Pay More. Regulators Disagree on What the Numbers Mean

Spotlight PA is an independent, nonpartisan, and nonprofit newsroom producing investigative and public-service journalism that holds power to account and drives positive change in Pennsylvania. Sign up for our free newsletters . HARRISBURG — Faced with stark evidence that residents who shop for electricity suppliers pay higher bills and face more frequent shut-offs, Pennsylvania regulators approved a significant policy change sought by the state’s largest electric company. In a 3-2 vote in late October, the Public Utility Commission agreed to allow FirstEnergy Pennsylvania to limit suppliers’ access to its “purchase of receivables” program based on the prices they charge. But the commission rejected the utility’s attempt to prevent customers from being enrolled in new supplier contracts they have not actively chosen, instead ordering a statewide review of the issue. The split decision indicates regulators are open to new guardrails on retail suppliers — but only up to a point. A landmark state law passed in 1996 gave Pennsylvanians the ability to choose which company to buy their supply of electricity from: They can stay on the “default service” offered by their utility, or sign up with a different type of company — a retail electricity supplier.
