The West Virginia Coal Association today welcomed the final passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) by Congress and its anticipated signing by President Trump. The legislation marks an important step toward restoring balance and accountability in American energy policy.
"For years, the coal industry has been burdened by excessive regulation and uncertainty. The OBBB helps reverse that trend by implementing reforms that ease permitting, improve access to federal lands, and eliminate policies that placed domestic producers at a disadvantage," said Chris Hamilton, president of the WVCA.
