                     THE PRESIDENT'S ENERGY POLICY

  (Mr. SHUSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, the President, on the heels of the State of 
the Union, is traveling to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, today. Well, I 
have invited the President to travel 50 miles south to Greene County, 
Pennsylvania, in my district, a rural county, a struggling county, a 
county that produces coal.
  The President's wrong policies, his out-of-control EPA regulations, 
have shut down the Hatfield's Ferry coal-fired electric plan in Greene 
County, Pennsylvania. Over 100 good-paying jobs are gone.
  But to make matters worse, the small community in East Dunkard and 
East Dunkard Valley, their water authority, the rate payers are going 
to have to pay more because the largest user of that system was the 
Hatfield's Ferry electric plant. So these 2,000 folks are going to have 
to pay more money for their water and their sewer because of the 
President's wrong energy policy. The President's energy policy is 
wrong, and it is hurting hardworking Americans.
