Gloomy—shoomy—just think of all your savings on sun block:)

As to where the money comes from (to support the medical and retail ventures)...why it’s energy. Westinghouse Nuclear has been HQ’d here forever (they have already outgrown their new campus in Cranberry Twp, PA (Butler County). Flying under the radar has been the Marcellus Shale boomlet—shale oil and natural gas production—even the specialty steel is making a comeback for pipelines, tanks etc). Also banking and finance (BNY Mellon is HQ here).

Lastly, our current population is older—so a retiree demographically “fits in” here:)

And the new abundance of natgas is delaying the restart of nuclear projects in North America.

(I currently work for one of Westinghouse's competitors. 'Nuff said, except: Wilmington NC is kind of nice.)
