Pro-coal group says industry crucial in Ky.
March 18, 2010 12:16 PM


Business leaders and political candidates have gathered in downtown Louisville for an event organized by a pro-coal group to tout the industry's importance to Kentucky.



The two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, Secretary of State Trey Grayson and Bowling Green doctor Rand Paul, spoke during Thursday's event.

The gathering was dominated by a group of about 100 young people carrying Rand Paul signs.

Grayson and Paul criticized the Environmental Protection Agency's holding up of dozens of mining permits for further review. Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dan Mongiardo expressed his support for the coal industry in a letter read during the event.

The Federation for American Coal, Energy and Security, a coal advocacy group, organized the event.
