New Radio Spot - Celebrating West Virginia’s Coal Heroes!

 


November 6, 2024 - Below is a message from Chris Hamilton, President, West Virignia Coal Association:

As we look back on the excitement of the WVU Coal Rush game, let’s keep that Mountaineer pride going strong! Today, we’re thrilled to launch our latest radio spot, shining a spotlight on the hardworking men and women who mine the coal that powers our state—and our lives.

With a recent surge in electricity demand fueled by expanding data centers and cutting-edge AI technologies, coal-generated electricity is stepping up to keep West Virginia’s lights on and homes warm. This is fantastic news for the Mountain State! Every day, 60,000 dedicated coal and power plant workers go to work—about the same number as the fans who fill Mountaineer Field on game day—keeping our energy reliable, affordable, and uninterrupted.

Listen for our new radio spot, running as of today, and join us in celebrating these unsung heroes of West Virginia. Together, we’re building a brighter, stronger future for all.
