West Virginia Must Participate to Influence National Energy Discussion

by Senator Brooks McCabe on September 3, 2010

energyAs debate expands regarding the future of energy, it’s very important that West Virginia asserts itself within this national conversation. Doing so will help ensure we are perceived as part of the solution, not part of the problem.

My thoughts  on the matter appear in a series of commentaries published by  The State Journal (links below), where I consider West Virginia’s role within the context of the national and global energy economy.

I’m also presenting on this issue today at the West Virginia Business Summit, and hope some of the discussion will cross-over into the realm of the Internet, so feel free to submit your thoughts on the below commentaries.

Part One – Our Energy Future: Let’s Reframe the Coal Debate

Part Two – Energy Opportunity: Reserves, Capacity, Transmission

Part Three – System Stability Key in Nation’s Energy Future

Part Four – Research Critical to West Virginia’s Energy Future

Part Five – West Virginia Can Seize Energy Opportunity
