Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) issued the following statement regarding the Department of the Interior's (DOI) proposed stream rule.

"It's outrageous that less than a month after being rebuked by the U.S. Supreme Court for ignoring the costs of its regulations, the administration is doing it again with this job-crushing, anti-coal rule. It's no secret that this overreaching rule is designed to help put coal country out of business. Less coal production means more Americans will be out of work and families will be forced to pay more just to keep the lights on.

"There is bipartisan opposition to this rule in the Senate. We'll work to advance legislation that will halt this assault on affordable electricity and coal jobs across the country."
