This is bad, bad news for House Democrats in 2014

FYI… This is bad, bad news for House Democrats in 2014.

Democrat incumbents and challengers are going to be forced to explain this move by the Obama administration. This is about jobs and energy costs – and polling shows that voters get it.

Look for this issue to have an impact in House races coast to coast, but in these places in particular:

• WV-03: Nick Rahall is in the heart of Coal Country, and is already on record voting for massive carbon taxes in Raul Grijalva’s Progressive Budget.
• AZ-01: Ann Kirkpatrick’s district is home to the largest coal plant in the West, which the Arizona Republic called Obama’s “Public Environmental Energy No. 1”
• IL-12: Coal is a major industry in Bill Enyart’s district, and now this home-state president is attacking the very industry his constituents depend on.
• OH-6 and KY-6: Democrats had high hopes of picking up these districts. Good luck now.

Fact is, these Democrats wanted Obama to have the keys the EPA.

What are they gonna do now?

The Environmental Protection Agency is officially proposing the first-ever regulations limiting future power plants’ greenhouse gas emissions, including standards that will require coal-burning plants to capture about 40 percent of their carbon dioxide emissions. The proposed rule, which EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy is announcing this morning in a speech at the National Press Club, is the agency’s first step in fulfilling President Barack Obama’s promise to tackle climate change without waiting for Congress. Republican lawmakers and other coal industry supporters have already denounced the proposal, saying it’s part of an administration “war on coal.”
