Andy Barr: “I agree with you 100 percent. I would just mention, too, it is not just about the coal mining jobs and the coal miners…”

“I agree with you 100 percent. I would just mention, too, it is not just about the coal mining jobs and the coal miners who will lose their jobs. My district is mainly not a mining district. My district mainly is known for thoroughbred horses and bourbon distilleries and cattle, in addition to the University of Kentucky and the City of Lexington, but we do border the coal industry. What I do know about those senior citizens on fixed incomes or low- income folks who live in those noncoal-producing counties in my district is that their electricity bills are going to double or triple if this Clean Power Plan goes into effect. I have talked to the utilities. Over 90 percent of the electricity in Kentucky comes from coal. Coal keeps the lights on. Coal provides affordable energy. The estimates from the utilities is that, in a single year, folks who live below the poverty line are going to see their electricity bills increase by two times, maybe three times, and that is simply something that they can't afford. So this is an assault on low-income Americans, not just coal-mining families, but, also, fixed-income seniors and other low-income Americans. Mr. McKINLEY. I do appreciate the gentleman's additional comments. So as we leave here tonight, let's make sure that we go back over what we have talked about. We have talked about the impact on coal. We have talked about the individuals, as you just referred to on their electric bills.…”
