West Virginia's treasurer has added several financial firms, including Citi, HSBC, TD, Northern Trust, and BMO, to an ESG blacklist, restricting them from providing state banking services due to their perceived boycott of the fossil fuels industry. The move is part of the state's stance in support of fossil fuels and against environmental activism.
