PFT Urges a "No" Vote on West Virginia Senate Bill 420

In a letter sent to West Virginia legislators, Power for Tomorrow President Brad Viator calls on elected officials “to protect West Virginians from energy policy that undermines both grid reliability and customer affordability.”

“Passing SB 420 is antithetical to the Legislature’s own stated commitment to affordability. West Virginia already carries the fourth highest poverty rate in the nation. Its residents cannot afford for this legislation to move forward. If running coal plants at 69% capacity made financial sense, utilities would already be doing it, no mandate required. We urge you to vote no on SB 420 and protect the interests of West Virginians.“
