Bush in West Virginia

The Associated Press covered President Bush's speech to the West Virginia Coal Association, as did The Charleston Gazette.

"There is no more reliable source of electricity than coal," the latter quotes Bush as saying.

MetroNews has a report and audio from The Greenbrier appearance. MetroNews also posted a response to Thursday's speech from U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va.

"If President Bush had pursued the right energy policies and made the investments in clean coal technology that he promised eight years ago, he might not be talking in West Virginia about high gasoline prices today," Byrd said.
