West Virginia

West Virginia is a state in the United States known for its coal mining industry and recent struggles with high utility costs and an ongoing opioid crisis. The state's reliance on coal-fired plants contributes to rising electricity bills, which now surpass mortgages for many residents. Meanwhile, West Virginia has also seen a decline in overdose deaths, attributed to increased adoption of a little-known public health program. Recently, the state was in the news due to its connection to the Trump administration's military actions and the National Guard member wounded in a DC attack. Additionally, the state's national teams have been featured in NCAA basketball rankings, with UConn, UCLA, Texas, and South Carolina among the top four teams.
