McKinley Stands Up to Obama Administration to Defend West Virginia Jobs | 2013-09-18 | 2013 | 2013-09 | Republican | House | WV | David McKinley | M001180 | mckinley.house.gov | legacy | Hearing Focuses on the Obama Administration's Devastating Climate Change Policies share: f t Today, Rep. David B. McKinley, P.E. (R-W.Va.) questioned Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy on President Obama's job-killing climate change regulations during a hearing by the Subcommittee on Energy and Power in Washington, D.C. We hear testimony from the Obama Administration time and time again that all climate change is man-made and the U.S. needs to reduce its CO2 emissions at all costs, said McKinley. But what they fail to tell the American people that 96 percent of global CO2 emissions around the world occur naturally. Only 0.2 percent of the emissions comes from U.S. coal yet coal always gets the blame. The Obama Administration, by virtue of its stream of job-killing regulations, is putting our nation at risk, casting hundreds of thousands out of work, changing an entire economic model, and stopping coal production, all because they cling to the notion that cutting two-tenths of a percent will save the environment, said Rep. McKinley. The Administration should not continue to push a job-killing climate change agenda based on political ideology, added McKinley. For a miniscule benefit, the Obama Administration is threatening thousands of jobs and imposing higher electricity costs on millions. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
