WV’s Moore Looking To Below Ground Energy

Energy costs have been rising steadily in the Mid-Atlantic and West Virginia has not been immune to its effects. West Virginia Congressman Riley Moore said twenty years ago, the state had the nation’s lowest utility bills, but President Obama’s war on coal changed that.
