Coal-state lawmakers, accusing President Obama of using a back door to impose strict emissions limits on power plants, are rallying to slam that door shut -- claiming the plan would cost jobs and jack up electric bills.
In Kentucky, West Virginia, and other states that rely on coal to fuel their own economies -- and that help generate power for everybody else -- officials vowed Monday to introduce legislation halting the newly announced EPA plan.
Under the draft regulation unveiled Monday, carbon emissions at fossil fuel-burning power plants would be cut 30 percent by 2030.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., calling the move an "assault" on the economy and an "illegal use of executive power," said he'd "force a vote to repeal it."
On the House side, Democratic West Virginia Rep. Nick Rahall announced he would introduce legislation, along with Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., to stop the EPA plan.
"We will introduce bipartisan legislation that will prevent these disastrous new rules from wreaking havoc on our economy in West Virginia," Rahall said in a statement.
The 645-page plan, expected to be finalized next year, is a centerpiece of Obama's climate change agenda, and a step that the administration hopes will get other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year.

coal users,freepers and ‘deniers’...all on their list.
Kyoto Protocol, no , it will be the, “Obama Protocol”
See? If Bush wasn’t so incompetent and went to war for oil this would have never happened!
Might be a novel idea, but until the RATS can count on their vote and f**k their economy, why would they want to do anything different?
Yup! Repeal the 17th and restore the Republic!
Obama, the EPA, and all these Climate Change (because the earth isn’t doing what we said it would do for the last 50+ years, so we will just make a generic name to cover all of our bases) groups must be the dumbest, stupidest, ignorant-est bunch of carbon-based life forms to ever walk on this plant!
Sense, CARBON is the building block of ALL matter on Earth, how in the name of Zeus can Carbon be a POLLUTANT?!?!
I will give you a very good example of what they are trying to control: plants need water to survive and thrive. When it floods, do all the plants die? NO! Why? Because plants USE water to survive and thrive! If we release “too much” carbon dioxide, will that kill all the plants? NO! Why? Because MOST plants use carbon dioxide to survive and thrive!
These people could not understand basic science if their asses were permanently glued to a chair in a Junior High science classroom! They simply REFUSE to admit that their entire premise is built on the ideas and plans to limit HUMANS - Agenda 21!!
“We have a moral obligation to act,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said, in announcing the plan Monday morning.”
And we the Citizens of a constitutional republic have a moral and legal right to arrest you and try you for your heinous crimes!!!!!
They better do something or we will all be sitting in the dark with a candle.
Your governor should tell Obama to FO.
“And just what do these Congresscritters think? That Obozo will sign it when and if it gets passed?.......................”
Tie it to funding of the White House budget and he will sign it, otherwise...shut off the lights!
