During his campaign, President Obama made the following statement to a San Francisco Chronicle reporter: "So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

"On Thursday, March 31, 2011, Appalachian Power Company met with the Southwest Virginia delegation of state House and Senate members in Wytheville, VA. Company representatives informed the delegation that APCO would be submitting to the State Corporation Commission four rate increase requests totaling 9.6%. If approved by the State Corporation Commission on December 1, 2011, the increase would go in to effect on February 1, 2012...I oppose any rate increase and encouraged the company to take a more proactive approach in opposing federal environmental mandates."

I receive phone calls from constituents pleading for help because they can no longer afford to pay for food, fuel, and medication. I urge our law makers to seek action and take a common sense approach toward energy and commerce because for the less fortunate and the elderly, it is now a matter of survival.

To: The Environmental Protection Agency

We strongly urge you to oppose the EPA's new regulations and utility rate increases from Appalachian Power Company. In light of an uncertain economy, it is not the time to ask citizens to give even more to large corporations, or even lose their jobs as coal-energy is regulated to death. Please consider us, even if the EPA is dedicated to pursuing this harmful course of action.
