Lawmakers Focus On Coal
KENTUCKY....
Following Wednesday's rally at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Senator Mitch McConnell and Congressman Hal Rogers promised to fight for coal in Congress and are making plans to battle the EPA on permits. Congressman Hal Rogers is working on a bill with bi-partisan support called the Electric Reliability Protection Act which is aimed at stopping the EPA dead in its tracks from regulating coal on its own. Senator Mitch McConnell says we're willing to learn how to burn coal with clean coal technology. A rally in Washington against mountain top removal is set for the 27th.
