"This thing was trying to be shoved down the States' throats, down the coal industry's throats at lightning speed without giving the States and the industry a chance to adequately review."

"I am insulted by it. The people in Appalachia that harvest coal and depend on coal for their livelihoods, they are insulted by it."
