Sen.-elect Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) pledged on “Fox News Sunday” to be “extremely aggressive” in trying to rollback some regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency.
“Extremely aggressive,” she said when asked how aggressive she would be in the Senate in trying to rollback some of the EPA regulations. “That is my promise to West Virginia. We have lost over the last two years, 5,000 jobs. Those are just coal jobs.
“We had several thousand other miners who are what are called a warn notice, meaning they're potentially going to be losing their jobs. That doesn't even count the transportation job, the electricians, the tire distributors, all the other jobs that go with coal mining,” Capito said. “Coal is our base load fuel.”

I’m thinking Manchin’s head is on the chopping block when he comes up for reelection. He and his wife are scum of the lowest variety. Seen it up close and personal.
Outstanding! Great to see her take a stand against the EPA and say it loud and clear.
or not rebuild it
Yeah, right, Shelley.
SHOW ME!
Congress could have stopped ALL of this with their constitutional power. They chose the cowards way and capitulated while other cowards praised their reaching across. They can stop this madness now.
They have the power. Period.
Good on Shelley Moore Caputo for speaking her mind.
It will be interesting to see who else in Congress lines up along side her to take on the EPA.
The problem with that is they actually could defund it and it would work.
It’s easier to say...roll back regulations which everyone knows will never happen but they can say ‘we tried’.
Yeah I’m on to them and hoping millions of other Voting citizens are too.
Suggestion to the newly elected women, when being harrased and made to look like the idiot by the demorats the come back should be “and I thought you were against the war on women”
Hopefully, she will get support from other politiicans.
the state of West Virginia should arrest alll EPA bureaucrats in the state and charge them with conspiracy
Tar and feather them, and throw them in the nearest river.
Last Spring , a climatologist, Joe Bastardi claimed that we were one power plant away from electrical grid collapse (which then included coal-fired plants).
With the new closures and new regulations we wont have that fall-back capacity in reserves, once the coal-fired plants are shut down.
The Fed Govt. is "all in" on Glow-Bull warming , even NOAA weather forecasters.
Bastardi has said that he expects this year to be as bad as last year, not warmer as predicted by "all-in" NOAA ,
and says there is a possiblity for reoccurance of "winter of '77" as the circumstances are similar.
Invest in good winter clothing , in layers .
I dont know if you recall, but the EPA (Gina McCarthy) REFUSED to disclose to a Congressional panel the methodology of how they arrived at closures,
nor the procedures of what they considered in the coal-fired plants closing.
The "War On COAL" is based on Obama's AGENDA , not on facts !
I think she will have some help when Senator Inhofe takes over the Chairmanship of the Environment and Public Works Committee.
as long as they can get away with it and experience no pain there will be no end
Nixon’s fault. Literally.
Something important for her to do behind the scenes is to sit down with coal industry professionals, and come up with a three stage plan to revitalize coal.
1) Crack down hard on the EPA. Likewise, steamroller those other government organizations that interfere with coal.
2) With the next president, likely a Republican, be ready with enabling legislation to rebuild coal infrastructure, from mining and transport, to power plants, as soon as the new president can sign them.
3) Have the capital, plans, equipment, supplies, and experts ready to start building those plants as soon as they are legal to build. Every state of the art plant that can be built must be built and in full operation within two to four years maximum. And by the time the plants are ready to go, the mines should already be in full production.
