The Inequitable States of America

There are numerous stories about the tragedy of inequality in our society. Everyone has probably heard the story about the students in a classroom who expressed their concern about a popular classmate who was failing the class. The concerned, compassionate students expressed their concerns to their teacher, and he offered a solution. He said that he would raise the popular students’ grade if the other students would agree to lower their grade in the class by one full letter. The students turned their anger toward the teacher accusing him of providing a solution that punished the class for the failure of the popular student.

In the Bible, the Prodigal Son tells his father that he is sick and tired of farming everyday, and he wants his inheritance early. His father acquiesces in spite of his better judgment and remits the inheritance, much to the chagrin of his siblings. After enjoying himself with wine, women and song, he returns to the farm having lost all of his inheritance. Rather than the father expressing his anger, he welcomes the son back with open arms and plans a party for his return. The angry siblings ask why the son is welcomed back with open arms while they picked up the slack and worked the farm. The father advises that they should rejoice because his “son was lost but now he is found.” The story ends without discussing the relationship that the prodigal son has with his siblings after his return, but I can only imagine that there was a certain amount of jealousy about the unfairness of the decision.

It seems that we are always in search of equity but it doesn’t exist on this earth. Even in nature, the tallest tree in the forest is there to drown out sunlight to the other trees, allowing for the taller tree to capture more nutrients and sunlight. Rather than focusing on fairness or unfairness, we should ensure that we always promote fair competition so that we can help people better themselves through hard work.

Prior to 1776, and still in many parts of the world, the entire population is equal; equally poor. When Thomas Jefferson emphasized the individual, including his God given right to pursue private property, he set in motion a chain of events that has lifted more people out of poverty than any other form government in the history of man. It also creates inequality because no man is the same and each man has individual talents and skills. In America, there should be no equality except equal treatment under the law.

This un-American emphasis on Equality, Sustainability, and Governance (ESG) has pervaded our society through people who don’t know their history.

From the Burd’s Nest: Seventh inning stretch

Last month, my article recalled an incident from my childhood years as I was developing my skills as a baseball player. All these years later, there’s still just something about baseball that I can’t get out of my system. In the movie, Field of Dreams, Shoeless Joe Jackson explained his love of the game as “Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money. It was the game... The sounds, the smells. Did you ever hold a ball or a glove to your face?” As a lover of the sport, truer words were never spoken!

Baseball games and lobbying the Legislature for 60 days at the Capitol have some true commonality. First, it’s a 60-day Legislative session which is virtually nine weeks, and a baseball game is nine innings. Second, as I prepared this article, we were on day 44, which is virtually seven weeks. So, being just a couple weeks away from the end of the session is bit like getting to that seventh inning stretch in a nine-inning baseball game. But those who follow baseball know that there are still lots that can happen to change the outcome in those last two innings— in my case, these last two weeks!

With just a couple of weeks to go, there have been over 2,450 bills introduced (938 Senate bills and 1,512 House bills). Unlike last month’s article, we now have a firm hand on the legislation that could impact you and your company. Here are some of the issues we have been tracking:

Senate Bill 22—that, if passed, applies triple penalties for the nonpayment of royalties under terms of oil and natural gas leases for conventional wells. This bill has passed the Senate and awaits full passage in the House of Delegates after going through its committee process. GO-WV is on record supporting the payment of royalties to lessors.

Senate Bill 592—that, if passed, would modify the Aboveground Storage Tank Act and specifically exempt tanks having a capacity of 210 barrels or less, containing brine water or other fluids produced in connection with hydrocarbon

transmission, storage, or production activities, that are located in a zone of critical concern. This GO-WV initiated bill has passed the Senate and is currently working its way through the House of Delegates committee process. GO-WV is in full support of this legislation.

Senate Bill 627— that, if passed, would remove the prohibition against the State of WV from leasing its state-owned pore spaces underlying lands designated as state parks. This bill has passed the Senate and is currently working its way through the House of Delegates committee process. GO-WV supports this legislation.

Senate Bill 899—that, if passed, would require that a CO2 storage operator design a carbon sequestration project to isolate any existing or future production from the commercially valuable mineral, including the coal or oil and gas estate, from the carbon dioxide plume. This bill has passed the Senate and awaits full passage in the House of Delegates after going through its committee process. GO-WV supports this legislation.

House Bill 2002—that, if passed, would establish a One Stop Shop Permitting Program in West Virginia that provides for the creation of a Permitting Dashboard to operate as a "onestop-shop" for obtaining and renewing permits, licenses, and business registrations within certain offices, departments, divisions, and agencies that participate in the One Stop Shop Permitting Program. The program would be effective July 1, 2027, and be administered by the Secretary of the Department of Administration. This bill has worked its way through the House of Delegates committee process and awaits passage in the House before being sent to the Senate for its consideration. GO-WV supports this legislation.

House Bill 2014—that, if passed would create the Power Generation and Consumption Act of 2025 which creates the Certified Microgrid Program administered by the WV Division of Economic Development. This Act is, among many Burd's Nest

EPA announces expansive deregulatory plan

Attached is an alert written by Gary E. Steinbauer, Esq., Jessica Lynn Deyoe, Esq., and Ethan F. Johnson, Esq. This article is reprinted with permission from Babst, Calland, Clements and Zomnir, P.C. for educational purposes. This information is not designed to be, nor should it be considered or used as a substitute for specific legal advice. All rights reserved. Attorney Advertising.

On March 12, 2025, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a sweeping plan to “undertake 31 historic actions in the most consequential day of deregulation in U.S. history.” The announcement states that the deregulatory plan is intended to “advance President Trump’s Day One executive orders and Power the Great American Comeback.” EPA states that these actions “will roll back trillions in regulatory costs and hidden ‘taxes’ on U.S. families,” making it “more affordable to purchase a car, heat homes, and operate a business.”

The ambitious plan identifies numerous past EPA regulations or actions that will be reconsid-

ered or reviewed. The regulations identified in the deregulatory plan, which were promulgated under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, apply to a wide range of industrial sectors and regulated parties. Although described as “31 actions,” the EPA’s primary announcement lists 22 different items, with some mentioning more than one regulation or past action set to be reconsidered or otherwise addressed as part of the plan. EPA’s list is also separated by headings that appear to correspond to separate Day One executive actions by President Trump. For each of the planned deregulatory actions, EPA issued an accompanying press release providing additional information, including, in a few cases, anticipated timelines for completing the deregulatory actions and planned interim actions.

The Babst Calland team has summarized the identified deregulatory actions and information provided by EPA in the table below:

Key Points from EPA Press Release

Unleashing American Energy

• Reconsidering the “Clean Power Plan 2.0” based on the Biden administration’s rule requiring “unlawful fuel-shifting” and “overreaching”

• Citing U.S. Supreme Court’s stay of the Clean Power Plan and subsequent decision overturning it in West Virginia v. EPA

• Reconsidering regulations for the oil and gas industry under Clean Air Act (CAA) § 111 (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts OOOOb/c) and revisions to 40 CFR Part 98, Subpart W of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program as “ideologically driven regulations” that prevent U.S. “energy dominance”

• Referring to “major recent Supreme Court precedent” related to federal agencies’ interpretation and implementation of governing statutes

EPA’s Target Timeline

It’s time to get serious about bringing data centers to WV

As the AI industry continues to emerge and see major advancement over the last couple of years, the biggest question facing the country is, "How do we power an industry that requires so much energy?"

Thankfully, we have an administration that is committed to unleashing American energy and encouraging the natural gas industry to drill. Still, these data centers that are starting to emerge

Oil &Gas Museum

The Oil, Gas and Industrial Historical Association, West Virginia’s only multi-site museum, highlights the history and present day impact of oil and gas in the Appalachian Basin.

We honor and celebrate the rich history of West Virginia and the MidOhio Valley, supporting research, preservation and interpretation at our sites.

across the country require an immense amount of energy and West Virginia is severely lagging in bringing them to our state. Surrounding states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio have 73 and 176 data centers while the state of West Virginia only has six.

West Virginia should be leading the way in bringing data centers to our state because we have the energy and we have less regulations than most states. While we are behind, there have been signs that energy companies in West Virginia are starting to see the vision. One example is First Energy’s new plan to retire two Mon Power coal plants and convert them to natural gas-based energy by 2040. This is a great sign for the natural gas business in West Virginia because, as of 2023, coal-fired power plants accounted for 86% of West Virginia’s total electricity net generation while natural gas contributed about 7%. If West Virginia wants to attract data centers to our state that number has to change, and if First Energy’s plan is an indication that energy companies in West Virginia are starting to identify that fact I would assume we will start to see more announcements that are similar in 2025. Add in the fact that the government is practically begging states to produce more energy for these data centers with the EPA rolling back 31 regulations in March. In fact, they even rolled back the Endangerment Finding of 2009 which will make it much easier to build power plants in the country. It will be imperative to build these new power plants with natural gas as we can balance sustainability goals with energy reliability for these data centers in the state of West Virginia. It's time for West Virginia to get serious about bringing these data centers to the state. Why can't West Virginia lead the way in technology advancement? It’s an added bonus that these data centers bring the creation of jobs, the attraction of high-end businesses to the state, and also unique educational opportunities for West Virginia residents.

West Virginia should be leading the way!

never be used it to produce consistent power. The SCUSA region’s strength is energy and molecules from natural gas. Trying to replace natural gas with wind would be disastrous.

In Europe we rode trains between cities on the Road Show from Brussels to Paris, Paris to Lille, Lille to Lyon, Lyon to Strasbourg and Strasbourg to Paris. Trains were fast, comfortable and on time. Europe’s extensive, electricity powered rail system developed over decades. It works well keeping automobiles off the road. It would not work in most of the USA. Americans prefer the freedom of their own cars to go places when and where they want. In the USA trains don’t or can’t go everywhere in our large country. One size doesn’t fit all.

Competing with the Carolinas and Texas for manufacturing can’t be done with state economic incentives only. These states all have large economic development budgets and promote sites with incentives. The SCUSA has a unique strength that can’t be matched with incentives. It is the only place on earth where a company can locate in the middle of their customers and on top of economical dependable energy and feedstock.

Each Road Show session opened with presentations by U.S. Commercial services staff, local government officials, success stories of local companies who expanded to the USA and presentations by EDOs like SCUSA or Jobs Ohio. Afternoons were for networking. We had one on one meetings with individual companies. Lynnda handled our table while Nathan and I did scheduled meetings and networked. The opening morning in Eindhoven, Netherlands we heard about U.S. history and politics from a Dutch woman. A very accurate presentation. Interesting to hear U.S. history from an outsider.

One major point she made, the size of the USA compared to Europe makes it difficult for companies to understand the differences between our states and regions. Other than Paris, before this trip I didn’t know where other French cities or manufacturing centers are. France is a fraction of the size of the USA. At SelectUSA in 2024, every state and U.S. territory were represented. Companies approached us on the final day of the exhibition confused, “Every state says they are #1.” Unless companies understand the uniqueness

of the SCUSA region it becomes a decision of the best state economic development package as long as they have a site checking all the boxes.

European companies are interested in investing in the USA primarily because of its large market, the biggest in the world. They didn’t know, SCUSA is in the center of that market and 50% of U.S population, or that the Ohio River is part of a river system larger than any in Europe.

SCUSA’s natural gas can fuel industry, produce electricity economically and provide the molecules industry needs to make thousands of products. If SCUSA were a country it would be the #3 natural gas producing country in the world. Companies wrongly assumed most U.S. natural gas comes from Texas. Manufacturing always follows energy. SCUSA is the birthplace of U.S. oil & gas, the glass industry, chemical industry, steel industry and most manufacturing.

Economic development packages eventually go away. SCUSA’s location advantage is for the life of the facility. Our region’s story was eye opening to EU manufacturers. We’ve been very busy since we got home doing follow up Zoom calls and setting up visits with companies we connected with on the Road Show.

In clothing and in governing one size never fits all. Successful people, companies and countries find and develop their strengths unless government dictates otherwise. In the USA We, The People have control if we are informed and use it. You make a difference!

The corporation’s sole purpose is to produce earnings and in a public corporation the officers have a fiduciary duty to the stockholders to maximize earnings and follow the laws of the land. Corporations rely on numerous forms of capital to run and expand their business and often turn to private equity firms to raise capital. In exchange for large sums of cash, private equity firms have decided that they will force corporations to adopt ESG policies as a means of absolving them of their guilt for producing enormous earnings.

These ESG policies fly in the face of a corporation’s fiduciary duty to its stockholders and, as such, states are implementing laws that would incarcerate officers of companies who implement ESG policies that jeopardize earnings.

So what is a corporation to do? Pay homage to the private equity firm demanding ESG but providing the vital capital lifeline or risk incarceration by the state who wants their corporations to prosper and promote through a meritocracy. For the corporation, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. In a world that is inherently unequal, and unfair, it seems like the capital markets and the corporation are no place for social engineering. This should be left to the purveyors who have always administered these services, the churches and the charities.

other things, designed to ease certain locational and power supply restrictions in order to attract and retain high impact data centers and create jobs. This bill has worked its way through the House of Delegates committee process and awaits passage in the House before being sent to the Seante for its consideration. GO-WV supports this legislation.

House Bill 2736—that, if passed, would assure continuity of service provided by or through an underground facility or to assure the safety of the general public and operator personnel. The bill modifies and improves the response times for an operator of underground facilities to respond within 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal federal or state holidays with the 48-hour period beginning at 12:00 a.m. of the day following receipt of the notification by the one call system. This bill has passed the House of Delegates and has been communicated to the Senate for further consideration. GO-WV is working with WV-811 and the Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Board. GO-WV supports this legislation.

House Bill 3231—that, if passed, would require producer/operators to withhold WV State Income Tax paid on royalties to nonresident lessors, with such tax withholdings being paid to the state by the producer. This bill is working its way through the House of Delegates committee process. Its companion bill, Senate Bill 840, has not moved in its Senate committee assignment since its introduction. This bill is currently working its way through the House of Delegates committee process. GO-WV is opposed to these two pieces of legislation and its intent.

House Bill 3336—that, if passed, would modify plugging requirements to eliminate four and one-half inch casing for modern or later-day wells, eliminating the removal of intermediate or surface casings for non-modern or older well and establishing requirements concerning plugs and casing perforations and monitoring and documentation requirements and finally exempting the removal of casing under certain defined circumstances. GO-WV is in support of the WVDEP initiated legislation.

As you can well imagine, the few pieces of legislation outlined here are but a small sampling of the total bills your GO-WV Lobbying

Team and executive leadership have reviewed and debated. As we stand and stretch here in the seventh inning—oops, week—we well understand there is still a way to go before the game is fully decided. But our chances look very encouraging given the dedication of our bullpen (Government Affairs and Lobbying Team)! Let me end this month’s article in the same way as I did in March: be on the lookout for any potential GO-WV calls for action and be ready to step in and pinch hit if needed! There will be a more complete report on this legislative session including threats that were averted, after the conclusion of the Legislative Session.
