Today, President Obama released an enormous regulatory attack on coal, which produces 54% of Michigan’s electricity. This rule could cost us 224,000 American jobs, shrink our economy by $50 billion a year, and increase monthly electric bills for families and manufacturers for the next 15 years. Experts have only just begun to dive into this giant and costly regulation, but the one thing that is clear is that President Obama is continuing to advance his “War on Michigan.” I will fight this proposal at every turn in the U.S. Senate and call on Congressman Peters to oppose these regulations instead of selling out Michigan jobs for his radical environmental agenda and the support of the California billionaire who is bankrolling his campaign.
