WV House Opposes Cap And Trade
WEST VIRGINIA...
On Thursday, the West Virginia House of Delegates endorsed a measure 82-7 from Governor Joe Manchin opposing federal cap and trade legislation. Manchin says, if the U. S. Congress approves cap and trade, the state's coal industry would be crippled and thousands of jobs lost. Manchin says his belief that cap and trade legislation is bad for West Virginia is in no way meant as slap in the face of environmentalists.
