As our major utility providers make new investments to expand generating capacity, we're asking these companies to consider constructing polygen, coal-based plants that not only produce electricity but also by-products such as highly clean and efficient
diesel fuel, something that looks to become a very big part of the economy of West Virginia and the region in the near future.
As history has shown us, the federal government is not going to be the leader in developing a sound national energy policy that makes sense for America. To protect our consumers and preserve our national defense, it is up to the leaders in all
50 states to develop individual energy policies that could be the basis for formulating a national policy, drawing on the best of each state. West Virginia has a significant role to play in the national urgency for energy independence.
