Is there a roll call vote available? I am wondering how our village idiot Bob Casey, Jr. voted. I am guessing Joe Manchin was one of the Democrat vote crossovers.
Still waiting patiently for President Trump to stop DACA.
2550 more illegal aliens have been given work permits since he became President.
Outstanding news for Appalachia...
The Liberal Headline I saw yesterday, The Senate Votes to let Coal Companies pollute Streams.
Excellent news! I hope all the coal miners can regain their jobs.
THe very large problem with this is that Soros bought the bankrupted mining companies. This just turns into a windfall for him.
I hate to say this, but the coal industry *is* dead; it’s only a matter of time. Still, good for Trump for giving the folks in the industry a little more time; better that the industry lose jobs by attrition than by lay-offs.
Mitch comes through for east Kentucky (and Central city too)
That’s about half the job.
The other half is protecting the coal powered electric plants. They are thousands more jobs.
The regulations placed on them based on parts per billion regarding air purity were ridiculous to the point that they were unachievable.
Coal plants are being closed, and the party line is that it is because “natural gas is cheaper.” Not true.
Natural gas is only cheaper because of the unreasonable restrictions on coal mining and power production.
In fact, Natural gas providers from across state lines or in-state have lowered rates in other areas to appear the best bet, and then when the coal plants are non-functioning, then they raise their rates.
The old low-ball game to run the competition out of business. Possible, in this case, only because of the decision by the Obama administration to kill coal and coal power.
Good start. Now can we have an EO/Law/Resolution/Something to allow the power industry to actually USE this coal?
This means everything to the area my family lives. At Christmas they were wondering if Trump would be everything they hoped. I told them, if nothing else, he WILL bring the coal industry back and that means work for a lot of my little second cousins and their families who compete for jobs at McDonalds and Walmart as it stands now.
Cardin and van Hollen both “nay”.
Hillary Clinton: “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”
Clean Coal: Plenty of it...and cheap!
0bama who?
Repeal ALL of Obama’s EOs, “Actions”, etc.
One bill voids them all. DO IT. NO EXCUSES.
