Today, there are two worlds: the real world, where Americans are struggling in these

While I applaud all efforts to increase energy independence, the route in which this Congress has decided to go runs right through the energy heartland of Kentucky. Faced with 10 percent unemployment, skyrocketing debt and uncertainty about the world economic market, there are better solutions than implementing the radical Cap and Trade proposal championed by Vice President Biden and Congressman Yarmuth.
