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. If coal fired power plants have to be retired quicker than baseline, then theyre going to accomplish the goal, even if this regulation never is upheld in courts. Thank you i want to follow up on this. Ill wait until the second round. Senator markey. Thank you madam chair. I ask that two articles by jed ee freedman and Richard Lazarus be included they provide thorough analysis of that clean power rule. So ordered. Pope frances is about to issue on Climate Change. They named the jesuit who taught chemistry as the pope. 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
All parties that swapped their allegiance away from moscow. In the program time to make a bit of a clean break, the leader of the socialist party. I was down the telephone. He that african colonial past still hangs heavily on the continent and is holding. If a has destroyed plenty, they have nothing to do. Yes, we have been in court all night.

Issue. Finally, the United States and europe need to get serious on alternatives. Practical projects that reinforce cooperation can help u. S. And eu approaches to climate change. I Hope Congress will find a way to allow the government to issue lng export licenses in a sufficient number for u. S. Lng to make a difference under an allied Energy Security act ian while not have an Immediate Impact it will not solve europes problems on the Energy Security it will be a very, very important political message. It would send the political message it would send is incall clabl especially to Vladimir Putin. By the way, i hope senator johnson in the course of the debate you will ask me what i think is ahead of Vladimir Putin when hes stopped short of invading the whole of the ukraine but maybe at another time. What really is at stake here in conclusion i would say is the cohesion and resilience of democratic and free societies. This is really an enormous task. And i do feel the United States must
Century gps technology. We think it will make the airspace more efficient and create more capacity and make the airspace cleaner that way. So whats interesting is that over the next year hopefully, once we get over this issue with the highway trust fund, the next big issue in transportation is going to be an faa reauthorization bill. And i think there are some issues in aviation that are on the table now about how we structure and how we finance and how we set the aviation sector up to compete in the 21st century economy that well have a chance to work with industry and work with other stakeholders to help resolve. But i think thats going to that period of time is going to allow all these issues to be laid bare in a much different dynamic and just in the budget season and im looking forward to having those conversations. But i will say welcome i think that conversation has to be more complicated if were still trying to deal with highways and transit next year. We need to get this done
