West Virginia's GDP grew by 3.3% in 2012, with over a third of this growth due to the mining industry. The state was the nation's second largest coal producer as of 2011.
If you read this article it says that the natural gas industry is growing and producing the best numbers in the country but it never said that the natural gas industry was the main reason for WV economic growth.
Though Im confident that natural gas will be WV big economic power in the near future, it is not now.
Very interesting. I normally do not respond to WV cause we don't even live there, nor have we ever, but my husbands family were raised in WV, including all his cousins. He is the only one that wasn't born and raised there. Some have left of course. On his granddad's farm were gas wells and like many other people we inherited a portion of the 3 wells. Us along with several others. Anyway, we had an opportunity just in the past few months to sell our shares. Like others in the family, we did. of course we figured the company who purchased them knew the future. Are we sorry? No, not really. But I would sure feel bad if I found out we or our kids could have been the Beverly Hillbillies.

Obviously it didn't. It mentioned the largest growth in the state was from coal. Decline is opposite from increase FYI
Did you even read it.

. However, according to USA Today, the electric utilities that buy much of the state's coal "are retiring coal-fired plants or upgrading plants to burn cheaper natural gas." While coal producers may lose out in this shift, natural gas producers are likely to benefit.
Yeah sometime things that are written in plane English are translated by "others" as Russian.
Yep, this is in Russian.
