Clean Energy Tax Credits And Abortion Deserts, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, Congress is reviewing legislation that would end tax credits for clean energy projects, risking hundreds of millions of dollars in investments and jobs in West Virginia.

Curtis Tate spoke with Mitch Carmichael, former West Virginia economic development secretary, who supports preserving the tax credits.

Also in this episode, we revisit a 2024 podcast episode that received top honors from the Virginia Associated Press Broadcasters. In it, Us & Them host Trey Kay explores the shifting geography of abortion access.

Kay follows the story of the Women’s Health Center of West Virginia, which relocated its abortion services from Charleston to a clinic across the state line in western Maryland — a region that, like much of West Virginia, is considered an abortion desert.
