Green is the NOW INDUSTRY More jobs better for the earth
DYK: The energy industry employs 6.7 millions Americans and added over 150,000 new high-paying jobs in 2018? WV alone saw a record revenue surplus thanks to taxes paid by our region's energy industry. As a result, WV consumers have saved billions on utility bills.https://twitter.com/SteveScalise/status/1131362228937154561 …

Yet the entire coal industry only employs 174,000 people as of 2015, a number that has fallen in the interim. WV only employs 20,000 people in coal production. Pretty disingenuous to try and ride the stats of the entire energy industry to validate your dirty business.

We have 37,453 teachers and service personnel in the state of WV. So nearly twice the number employed by the coal industry yet people like Carol shit all over them.

Didn’t the surplus come from cuts to education, increased tobacco tax, increased tolls and increased vehicle registration fees? It’s crazy that we have all of this addition revenue that comes from additional driving related fees yet our roads are still trash.

@SteveScalise, do you know any revenue generated won't make it to the coal toxin filled rivers, horribly underpaid teachers, cross training for more modern jobs, health care in WV? You know that WV GOP grossly mislead its constituents as you do in LA. https://www.wvpublic.org/post/coal-comeback-coal-new-low-after-two-years-under-trump … - End of conversation
