Kentucky Republicans react to Obama's plan to fight climate
change  Herald-Leader Staff ReportJune 25, 2013   U.S. Sen. Rand
Paul, R-Bowling Green, released the following statement
regarding President Barack Obama's plan to tackle pollution and
prepare communities for global warming:  "President Obama today
declared a war on coal, and thus declared a war on Kentucky jobs
and our economy. Whether it is through the retroactive denial of
permits, onerous regulations on coal-fired power plants, or
unreasonable environmental requirements, the policies of this
Administration are threatening the very way of life that has
sustained Kentucky communities for generations," Paul said. "As
a defender of the free market and of coal, I will continue to
fight back against the EPA and any other federal agency whose
goal is to stifle coal production. I will continue to stand up
for our miners in Washington as we continue to recognize the
sacrifices they make to provide food for their families and
energy for America."  Republic
