Survey: 80% of West Virginians Support Oil and NatGas Drilling

A recent survey commissioned by the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia Inc. (GO-WV) found that 81% of West Virginians support natural gas and oil drilling in the state. That is a staggering, overwhelming majority! Nearly as many (close to 80%) favor policies that increase domestic oil and gas drilling and the completion of pipeline projects, in order to ease inflation. Some 52% of West Virginians ranked inflation as the most important issue facing the state (the top vote-getter). Although the survey results don't mention it, we wonder how many West Virginian's are disappointed with Sen. Manchin for his role in increasing inflation with the recent Big Green bill (aka Inflation Reduction Act) signed into law with the help of Manchin?
