On this West Virginia Morning, the Environmental Protection Agency plans to cancel billions of dollars in grants for a solar program intended to improve home energy efficiency. The funds – including more than $100 million in West Virginia – were meant to help low-income residents combat rising electricity costs.
And, an annual competition celebrates the strains of fiddle, banjo and guitar – and a tradition of passing a uniquely West Virginian sound to the next generation.
