WV Bill Promoting New Gas-Fired Power Plants Nears Final Vote

As we previously reported, West Virginia Senate Bill (SB) 188 is aimed at making WV more competitive with its neighbors--Pennsylvania and Ohio--with respect to siting more gas-fired power plants in the state. The only problem is that the coal industry isn't thrilled with some of the language in the bill (see WV Senate Bill to Promote Gas-Fired Power Rankles Coal Lobby). Even though Big Coal is not happy with it, SB 188 appears to be on a fast track to passing. The Senate passed the bill, and it's now headed for a full House vote.
