On Tuesday, March 28, Governor Matt Bevin released a statement on the American Energy Independence Executive Order sign by President Donald Trump. Governor Bevin applauded the order, as it rolled back former President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which he called “job killing.” The governor continued, saying that the order demonstrates a more common sense approach to the role our fossil fuels can play in the nation’s energy portfolio. He concluded that it is possible to have “pro-growth, pro-job regulations and still be responsible stewards of the environment.”
