The list of allies fighting for Kentucky's energy sovereignty seems to get longer every day.

Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY, 2nd District) and Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN, 9th District) joined forces this past Monday to speak out against the Draconian mandates of the Environmental Protection Agency which threaten to choke the economic vitality out of Appalachia's most valuable natural resource - coal.

Rep. Guthrie did not advocate leaving environmental concerns by the wayside, but for the EPA to embrace more realistic and cost-effective alternatives for Kentucky's energy sector: "We just want it to get reasonable, we want it to have common sense, and have it have economic sense."

Concerned Kentuckians and local officials will have their day to take on the EPA and its sweeping new regulations at a head-to-head public hearing on June 5th and 7th in Pikeville and Frankfurt, KY respectively.
