On this West Virginia Morning, electricity prices in West Virginia have increased faster than the rate of inflation. A recent report concluded that the state’s heavy reliance on coal is the reason. Curtis Tate spoke with the report’s author, Brendan Pierpont, director of electricity modeling for Energy Innovation Policy and Technology.
Also, in this show, the West Virginia Film Office has had a bumpy ride to get to where it is today. As part of his capstone project, Max Bruce, a recent graduate from West Virginia University (WVU), looked at the new Film Office’s impact on the state’s burgeoning entertainment industry. He spoke with Chris Schulz about his reporting.
