This afternoon, I'm heading home, heading home to western Pennsylvania. People back home are being negatively impacted by President Obama's war on low-cost American energy and all the regulations that are emanating from the unelected Federal elites here in Washington, D.C. We've got power plants closing back in western Pennsylvania, resulting in hundreds of lost jobs. We've got miners with middle class incomes also being laid off. We've got truckers and shippers jobs also being threatened. President Obama's anti-energy agenda hurts all of those folks in western Pennsylvania and around the Nation.

This is the human toll of President Obama's war on low-cost American energy. It's a tragedy, and it must end. ____________________
