H.R. 1644 [called Delay Mountaintop Mining Valley Fill Rules] which
Paul Cook voted for would prohibit the Department of the Interior (DOI)
from
issuing any rule regarding prohibited surface mining areas near streams
until a year after the National Academy of Science (ANS) has submitted
an evaluative report of the current rule to Congress. It gives two years
for NAS to submit the report, meaning DOI would be prevented from
issuing further rules for up to three years. Don't we have enough water
quality problems without giving coal operators a license to pollute
without fear of government oversight? Wow. Flint Michigan lead, Hinkley
& PG&E....when will Cook and Knight care about the people? Both are big into the right-to-life movement--a slow kill with chemical pollution is ok?
