Pat McGeehan on Energy & Oil

	Pat McGeehan on Energy & Oil

Fight the "War on Coal"; no alternative energy subsidies

As Obama and his administration are ramping up their War on Coal, good paying coal mining jobs are being destroyed in our own backyards. Politicians claim they want to "rein in" the EPA, yet West Virginia keeps losing jobs and the revenue that goes with them.

Coal gives West Virginians affordable power and helps to lower their bills. I oppose using tax-payer money to subsidize alternative energy, while our government targets the destruction of coal mines in West Virginia.

I fought against the Cap-and-Trade bill that was introduced and passed in the West Virginia House of Delegates. I will continue to fight any anti-coal legislation as a U.S. Senator.

While politicians criticize Obama's War on Coal with press statements and TV interviews, I will introduce legislation to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency. I will also oppose any regulation harmful to the coal industry. Only then will we see our coal industry improve and bring jobs back to West Virginian.
