PITTSBURGH (Newsradio KDKA) - Oil prices soared to over $100 a barrel overnight, as Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war against Ukraine.

"I think there are some opportunities here for Pennsylvania's natural resources, and to the extent it could lead to saving lives overseas," Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf said Tuesday during the KDKA Radio Morning Show on Tuesday.
Listen Wolf's full response above.
Earlier this week, Germany froze the authorization of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, meaning the country is need of an alternative fuel source.
