Last week, Jim Webb appeared before coal miners and said:
“We are not going to let the EPA regulate coal out of business.”
Really?
Then how come he didn’t join six other Democrats (Mark Warner was also NOT one of them) at supporting efforts to overturn the EPA’s finding that greenhouse gases are hazardous to human health? This so-called “endangerment finding”, permits the EPA to regulate the heck out of coal and greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act; in fact, it’s now a REQUIREMENT for the EPA to regulate it.
This now gives the EPA the authority to regulate 70% of the U.S. economy’s greenhouse emissions.
Clearly that won’t have any impact on coal, in Sen. Webb’s parallel universe.
