First @WhiteHouse meeting today. I talked to the administration about how coal communities need to be made whole in our energy future and what equitable policy can look like for WV. Plus how we can best take advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act<U+2019>s benefits! https://t.co/YayGQXWmPs

Schools in WV can use power purchase agreements to finance rooftop solar arrays. They lock in energy prices for decades and have it built into the budget rather than a fluctuating cost. https://t.co/J02dAWfXS4
I just called a Point of Order on the Coal Association while they were going on about how consumers should bear the costs of them upgrading the coal-fired power plants. So when I'm killed by someone with a "Friend of Coal" license plate, or my next opponent has $$$$ you'll know.
Today we passed legislation to allow the first renewable energy microgrid in WV. @HansenForWV and I have been pushing for projects like this for years. If we don<U+2019>t adapt, we are left behind. Today WV takes one step forward to progress. I hope tomorrow isn<U+2019>t two steps back. https://t.co/gLIDZrnmKq
Honored to join Bill Gates, President Smith, and Senator Manchin today to move closer to a clean energy future in West Virginia. This wouldn<U+2019>t be possible without many bills we<U+2019>ve passed in the past few years, including lifting the ban on nuclear power! https://t.co/vEv7eTL7hr
Lastly - I can easily explain to West Virginians that the easiest way to energy independence and sound national security is to invest in US clean energy and supply chains. So we don<U+2019>t have to rely on anyone. WV knows all about making energy for the nation. We can do it.

Imagine thinking our entire country is on the same electric grid. https://t.co/fFuTOtiqng
Yesterday we went to La Hague, the ONLY nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in the world. France made a national commitment to nuclear power and now is ~75% powered by it. They reprocess & recycle the fuel! https://t.co/SETz9MCCFx
A whole lot of words, when they could have just said <U+201C>is socialism<U+201D>. Forcing the State to buy and assume all liability for old power plants when the world is changing their energy wants and needs is insanity. It always has been about profits for coal barons. https://t.co/bwT3ZPC0Pn
