New Energy Jobs Await West Virginia – If We Just Elect the Right Legislators
Politics and ignorance have conspired to prevent West Virginia from fully embracing the new energy economy. But if young West Virginians are searching for a reason to stay in the state, they need look no further than career opportunities in the renewable energy sector. There is a bright future for our state if it embraces these technologies during the painful winding down of our coal and gas economy. This can only be done if policymakers in the Legislature and the executive branch get on board. It is our job as voters to ensure they do.
