Overview of Jim Justice Environmental Policies:
$60M upgrade to state parks.
“A coal company owned by West Virginia billionaire Jim Justice has agreed to pay a $900,000 fine for environmental violations and improve pollution controls at mines in Kentucky and other Appalachian states at an estimated cost of $5 million" (Jim Justice on Environment, 2020).
“The climate regulations imposed on the state have been difficult, overreaching and wrong, Justice said. More can be done with clean coal technologies to make them more economically viable and keep coal as a vital fuel source, he said" (Jim Justice on Environment, 2020).
Governor Justice supports President Trump’s rollback of President Obama’s coal policies.
