The EPA continues to overstep its legal authority waging a war on coal.

While it may be uncomfortable for EPA officials to face the coal miners whose livelihoods are threatened by these misguided regulations, West Virginians deserve the opportunity to make their voices heard.

I think West Virginians deserve to have their voices be heard.

I think that's a real concern certainly where the replacement for this power generation could possibly come from.

I don't find the statutory authority for it. And I'm hopeful that the D.C. Circuit will likewise be doubtful of it, and ultimately the Supreme Court will affirm.

We've had a lot of gridlock. We've had a lot of pushes and pulls. We've got to get the train back on the track.

I certainly have been a broad--and will continue to be a big supporter of the research and development of the CCS.

The EPA is going to be the ones that's going to tell West Virginia how we're going to meet a standard that we basically don't think we're going to meet.

To willy-nilly just say we're going to stop using these coal plants and we're going to go and invest in a bunch of windmills and solar panels is just not--it's crazy.

What is the approximate cost of something like that?

The Clean Power Plan we're going to be talking about today--the focus of today's hearing will bring even more economic harm to West Virginia communities.
