Governor Justice [WV]: Anybody that feels like we can immediately move to renewables- we don't need coal, we don't get gas, we don't need oil, we're just going to move right now…that is a frivolous thought.

CHARLESTON, WV: "The West Virginia Public Service Commission says the Mitchell, Amos, and Mountaineer coal-fired power plants can keep operating until 2040, instead of their projected phase-outs in 2028. The coal industry, which backed the extension, says it’s good for jobs and the long-term economy.

“The economic impact of this decision, and its generated in these local and regional communities, is just phenomenal. There’s no replacement for these current jobs that are there,” remarks Chris Hamilton with the West Virginia Coal Association."
