2024 WV Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Mac Warner: Fossil fuels are an essential part of basic energy

[On climate change]: "I support all the energy sources, but we should allow the market to decide when it's appropriate. The government should not be picking the winners or losers, the market should be. We shouldn't pick an arbitrary date to get rid of fossil fuels, it's absurd. Fossil fuels are an essential part of basic energy, at least from my perspective. Of course, this is a legislative call for the most part."

Moore Capito: The solution is to return our country to energy independence

West Virginia has always powered this great country by applying our innovative thinking to our vast natural resources. We are the energy experts and always have been. Our energy industry constantly adapts and re-invents to generate power that meets our needs - all while providing thousands of jobs to West Virginians. Our energy is not the problem, it's the solution to return our country to energy independence. Let's qet out of the business of telling the experts how to do their job.

Steve Williams: Identify other uses of coal, not just burning it

Make sure that we have clean water, we have clean air. And we use solar, we use wind, we start within our research capacity at WVU and Marshall. And again, they have to be properly funded, as well as our other schools, so they are doing the research to be able to identify other uses of coal, not just burning it. Just what are some other discoveries that we can have, where we'd be able to utilize, still be able to, to extract them from the earth, but we do it in a clean way.
