WVU Energy Institute Renames Itself – Going Woke?

| | |

We have some disappointing news to share. It appears that one of the preeminent energy research organizations in the country, the West Virginia University Energy Institute, is going woke–steering into the quicksand of focusing on unreliable, “renewable” energy. Yesterday WVU announced that the WVU Energy Institute is changing its name to WVU Institute for Sustainability and Energy Research, effective July 1st. It’s also getting a new director–Sam Taylor–whose research expertise is “geothermal, hydrogen storage and carbon dioxide storage, transportation energy utilization, renewable and nonrenewable energy research, clean energy and advanced energy technologies.” There isn’t a single mention of shale or fossil energy in the entire WVU press release.
