What happened
Pennsylvania Democrats could control the governorship and both legislative chambers if they win the state Senate in next month's elections. The prospect of a blue wave has raised that possibility. Governor Josh Shapiro may decide whether environmental action moves forward.
Why it matters
A Democratic trifecta could allow energy reforms and limits on data centers to pass. The outcome would depend on the governor's support.
