                                 ENERGY

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, last night the Senate Democratic 
leadership pulled the Energy and Water bill from consideration for one 
reason: to protect the administration's new job-killing coal 
regulations. So once again Senate Democrats are preventing my 
commonsense procoal measure from moving forward. They have done the 
bidding of the administration instead of listening to constituents back 
home. Kentucky families, especially our coal families, continue to 
struggle under the Obama economy.
  The Senate Democratic leadership's latest action is yet another 
example of the lengths they are willing to go to defend the Obama 
administration's regulatory agenda--an agenda Washington Democrats seem 
willing to protect at all costs, even when supposedly pro-energy Senate 
Democrats try to make us think otherwise.
