Even worse, new EPA regulations, which will cost the U.S. economy nearly $3 trillion and innumerable job losses, are backed by

Take action! EPA’s new regulations would kill America’s abundant supply of affordable coal energy based entirely on over-hyped global warming junk science. We cannot let this stand! Demand President Obama and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy stop their war on affordable American energy now!
