WVEC Response to 2025 WV State of the State Address
Governor Morrisey’s State of the State address outlined his priorities, with an outcome focused on ensuring that West Virginians, particularly young West Virginians, no longer feel like they have to leave the state to find opportunity. However, the Governor’s plan to expand fossil fuel-based energy and “maximize” our state’s “water-rich resources” wholeheartedly ignores that many communities in West Virginia do not have access to clean air or clean water.
