Crushing West Virginia Jobs Is An American Tragedy

by Frank McCaffrey: Vice President Kamala Harris recently gave an interview to a local West Virginia TV station to discuss the Biden administration’s job-killing energy policies. The WSAZ anchor brought up an important issue for her state when talking to the vice president.

“People win traditional energy jobs have concerns about the Biden administrations’s clean energy plan. People who work in coal especially have heard before, that there will be jobs and programs to help them transition to no avail. Why should they believe that this time will be different?”

Harris answered, “Well, first of all, let me say that the President has been very clear that this is not about any existing leases in terms of coal and what we’re doing in terms of oil and coal, and in federal lands. This is about what we need to do going forward to create more jobs.”

Sounds like classic liberal talk that’s French for “We’re gonna’ kill your jobs.”

Apex, North Carolina businessman Scott May says crushing West Virginia industries crushes everybody!


“Shutting down energy I think is devastating and in several facets,” Mays explained. “It’s going to hurt, local economies, but it’s going to hurt us nationally as well there’s absolutely no doubt about that. First of all we’re going to lose a lot of jobs, that’s going to hurt a lot of people, it’s going to make energy prices go way up, that’s going to affect everybody as well.”

And will renewable energy ideas help in any way?

“They just haven’t been developed enough yet and they’re not proven to get us to a point to where they can replace these traditional forms of energy,” added Mays. “So my fear is that if we do this too quickly and a lot of this I think is by design. But if we do a lot of this too quickly without having sufficient energy sources to to replace what we’re trying to eliminate that really that can just ultimately destroy the entire economy.”

But the Biden Team sees a pot of gold in killing these jobs.

Harris told WSAZ-TV, “When you talk to him about climate change, the first thing that he talks about is job creation.”

So, we’re just to forget about all the jobs killed in the process?
