Matt Bevin To EPA ‘Pound Sand

[hanger4]

The new governor of Kentucky – a Conservative Republican – will tell the EPA to pound sand. He said he is a strict Constitutionalist and he will not allow Barack Obama to destroy the coal industry in Kentucky. One of the most powerful weapons he has as governor, he said is the Tenth Amendment.


The powers not given to the Federal government are the province of the States, he continued. These cases always come down on the side of the States.


Never in the history of the world, has there been such a demand for coal and Kentucky is sitting on an abundance of it. He will tell the EPA and other unelected officials who have no authority over Kentucky as a state to ‘pound sand’, Bevin said.


They have no legal authority and all they can do is sue and in the meantime, Kentucky will do what it wants.

Last week one of the either common or common sense asked what regulations have ruined jobs?

LOL do we really need to start pointing these things out? This admin has done everything it can to destroy not just jobs but this entire industry.

obumer might put boots on the ground in Kentucky over this insult to the global warming hysteria

Courts have been ruling against (http://thepoliticalforums.com/threads/53128-Courts-reign-in-Obama’s-regulatory-overreach) the Administration in these regulation cases.

I see this as the way the feds will eventually be limited, by the states simply reclaiming their rights

[zelmo1234]

I think as more and more of the Executive orders and departmental regulations of the Obama administration are overturned by the courts, you will see more states taking these actions

Couple this with the states jumping out of the ACA exchanges that they have set up. and all of the really nasty things that will be inacted by the ACA in the spring of 17.

This might be a hard year for Obama as he watches his so called accomplishment reversed.

I also believe Colorado should authorize banks outside of federal control

First let me say this, my ex father in law owned a coal company for years. He sold it when the market slowed back in the late 80's.
Biven is making hay. Coal extraction has been in decline for 40 years. Everyone in coal country knows this. Coal ash is nasty stuff when it enters the water supply. Have you ever seen a mountain top just disappear? I have. I have you seen the wildlife die from lack of clean water? I have. Have you seen towns flooded because the water runoff changed when the topography changed? I have. People can't sell the homesteads because of the pollution in their water systems. It's the same with the chemical companies that line the banks of the rivers. When Freedom Industries stored MCHM in faulty, rusted out tanks, the leak caused enormous damage to the Elk River. I guess it's easy to rail against something if you don't have to live with the aftermath.

I don't know if this administration has abused it's rights or not. So I wont speak to that. However, when it comes to coal and chemicals, it needs to be regulated. I'm assuming everyone has the coal miner's best interests at heart and not using this as another anti-Obama rant. Has anyone followed the Blankenship trial?

I am certainly for reasonable regulations to include strict safety measures to make it cheaper to prevent most accidents.

But so far as this administration goes, it is abusing its regulatory power. I posted a thread and linked to it above at post 4 about the lawsuits the administration is losing due to regulatory over-reach.

May I ask where the thread is located? I would like to read it.

What kind of governor wants his state poisoned with pollutants?

This should be fun to watch.

Well, yes, yes we do. How else are we supposed to fix the problem if we can't even point it out?

Thanks, I bookmarked it to read tomorrow. :)

One that would rather not see his citizens have to choose between food and lights. Clean Coal is getting better all the time, but the biggest market for Coal is China, In the USA we have enough natural gas to cover our own energy needs.

My dad travels alot and was in Alaska a few years ago. He said that there were tons of, I guess you would call them containers loaded with coal. Dad asked someone that worked there where it was going and the guy said China. He told dad that there was too much sulfur in the coal for the US but China didn't care.

Which is why imposing "global warming regulations" won't work, China doesn't care.

That isn't the issue. The issue is one of authority. What power does the Constitution give the federal government, and what powers remain with the States?

I expect no governor wants to poison their state. I suspect most governors want local solutions to local problems that take many things into account to include pollution and the economy among other things.

Perhaps the kind that wants hos citizens to have jobs. Tough call, tough balance. Whatever rules are developed should apply to the whole state
