CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The Obama administration's own experts estimate their proposal for protecting streams from coal mining would eliminate thousands of jobs and slash production across much of the country, according to a government document obtained by The Associated Press. The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement document says the agency's preferred rules would impose standards for water quality and restrictions on mining methods that would affect the quality or quantity of streams near coal mines.

Most West Virginians are probably now aware that President Obama's head of the EPA announced a decision on Tuesday to delay and review permits for two mountaintop-removal mining operations, an action that calls into question more than 100 additional pending valley fill permits. Soon after the announcement, a who's who of West Virginia politicians, along with the National Mining Association and other coal industry groups, criticized the EPA's decision. And it will surprise nobody familiar with the coal industry that their one and only talking point was jobs. The initial response of the National Mining Association was, "This action, which applies to all mining- related 404 permits in the region, puts thousands of mining jobs and coal production in Appalachia at risk.

House votes to end election check-off WASHINGTON -- The Republican-controlled House voted to end multimillion-dollar federal subsidies for presidential candidates and national political conventions on Wednesday, the first of what party leaders promised will be weekly, bite-sized bills to attack record deficits. The 239- 160 vote sent the measure -- and the fate of the familiar $3 check- off box on income tax returns -- to the Senate, which is controlled by the Democrats.

CHARLESTON, W.Va., Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An internal report obtained by the Associated Press reveals that soon- to-be proposed rules affecting surface and underground coal mining nationwide will cost thousands of jobs across the country. The job and production losses are outlined in an Office of Surface Mining (OSM) Reclamation and Enforcement document. The rules are supposed to replace Bush-era regulations, which the agency never implemented. The OSM has submitted the proposal to coal producing states for their feedback before it finalizes any new regulations. The proposal - part of a draft environmental impact statement - would affect coal mines from Appalachia to Alaska. This Administration says it's for job creation, yet its regulatory actions reflect just the op...
