A $10 billion cut does more than punish this agency for past mistakes. A $10 billion cut closes the door on the future of our national commitment to energy independence. Attempting to kill any specific projects by enacting a $10 billion rescission will also mean killing. among other things. a Midwestern coal project which would bring thousands of jobs to a depressed area and new hope to a struggling coal industry. Coal brought immigrants into my part of the world. and settled many fine communities in my district. But today. most of the mines are closed. The coal is there still in incredible abundance.
