White Sulphur Springs, WV – Today, Senator Jim Justice joined the West Virginia Coal Association during their annual membership meeting to discuss the importance of coal in American energy dominance and the positive impact the One Big Beautiful Bill will have on the industry:
“West Virginia is the coal state, and I jump at every opportunity I get to discuss the industry and listen to what folks working in coal would like to see out of Washington. These people go to bat every day to heat our homes, support jobs across industries, and keep America moving – we ought to do everything we can to keep our miners mining. I am an energy guy from an energy state and will continue to support our coal producers as long as the Good Lord gives me the breath to do it,” said Senator Jim Justice.
BACKGROUND:
- Senator Justice has been an outspoken supporter of not only the coal industry, but the fossil fuels industry as a whole as a member of the Senate Energy Committee.
- Recently, Senator Justice led Senate Republicans in introducing a coal tax credit in the One Big Beautiful Bill – which was applauded by the industry and complemented President Trump’s Executive Order designating coal as a critical earth element.
