Senator Justice Addresses Industry Leaders at GO-WV Summer Meeting

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WV – Today, Senator Jim Justice addressed industry leaders at the Gas & Oil Association of West Virginia (GO-WV) Summer Meeting, where he provided an update on the energy landscape in Washington and discussed the importance of advancing policies that keep West Virginia at the forefront of American energy production. “America cannot be energy dominant without West Virginia. It’s just that simple. When I came to the Senate, I knew one thing: West Virginia’s energy story needed a strong voice at the table. Serving on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee gives me the opportunity to be right in the middle of the conversations that matter most for the industries in this room. Whether it’s permitting, investments, or policies that impact our ability to produce energy, I’m working to make sure Washington understands what West Virginia already knows—we have the resources, the people, and the know-how to power this country,” said Senator Jim Justice . BACKGROUND: Senator Justice has been a staunch advocate for the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia. As a member of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Senator Justice continues fighting to keep West Virginia and American energy strong. Recently, Senator Justice celebrated a new natural gas plant being developed alongside an existing coal plant in Mt. Storm. ###
