Coal’s Use Beyond Energy And Special Session Updates, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, Pennsylvania-based Consol Energy announced it would merge with St. Louis-based Arch Resources to form Core Natural Resources. The combined company won’t just produce coal for generating electricity or making steel. Curtis Tate spoke with Dan Connell, senior vice president for Consol Energy , about what else coal can do.

And reporters Briana Heaney and Caelan Bailey have the latest from the West Virginia Legislature’s second special session of the year, including another cut to the state’s income tax and an embattled child tax care credit.
