All our states are hit by the slew of proposed epa rules aimed squarely at the fossil fuel industry and folks that work in that industry. I would like to highlight a letter from the governor of wyoming to the epa administrator on april 28th i ask that letter be entered into the record, madam chairman. In this letter the governor highlights a study by the center for Energy Economics and Public Policy at university of wyoming entitled impact of the coal economy on wyoming published february of this year. I would ask that this study be entered into the record. Without objection. Thank you. The governor states about the study that it determined the single largest threat to wyomings coal industry is epas clean power rule. In fact, the study says that 111 d climate regulation has potential to drastically reduce wyoming coal production. Coal output under favorable circumstances decreases by 32 of the 2012 production by the year 2025. Study goes on to say even the best case of impact modeling
Been given one year, thats a very real problem. But there are real costs being expended by the states and also i believe this administration is not interested whether the rule is finalized so long as the marketplace moves away from them.

Pope frances believes science is the answer to our prayers, we have to look at modest ways to look at this to reduce the danger that growing Greenhouse Gases will impose to gods creation of the planet. I think it is important for us to fin
Shuddering coal generation in the state of oklahoma. Its a concern 3r5k9ically and a concern legally. Looking at it as a nonattorney, you look at the tenth amendment which refers to reserving power to the states do you think this is consist went the tenth amendment . Well, i think this case and i would add this to the comments earlier from a fellow panelist, i dont think its terribly novel for us to have a dispute or a case about statutory construction. You know, i indicated that it is a Traditional Police power to regulate Power Generation and for the federal government to intervene or to invade that, it has to be the statute has to be explicit and clear and unambiguous, and i think by virtue of our discussion today, its demonstrative that that is not the case. So, senator i think its less about the tenth amendment and less about states rights under the tenth amendment and more about statutory construction and whether the epa possesses the authority that you gave it to regulate in thi
Of respect of what can only be described as a tragedy. Cnns Matthew Chance has more now on the story generating outrage around the world. You know what, they were the worst accents ever. It was meant as a light hearted aussie prank, even after their station issued an apologies the two deejays made light of it. We were sure at least 100 people before us would try the same thing. Reporter now suspended from their jobs and one of the nurses they humiliated and fooled is dead. It is with deep sadness that i can confirm the tragic death of a member of our nursing staff. We can confirm that she was recently the victim of a hoax called to the hospital. Reporter she was the nurse that transferred the call to the private ward. Two days later saldanhas body was found.
