"Protecting Coal & Gas" and "As a member of Congress, I’ve fought to lower taxes and create jobs, protect our energy industries..."
"Mrs. Miller of West Virginia introduced the following bill"; the bill title says it would "prohibit the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing" the proposed rule affecting fossil-fuel power plants.
SEC. 324: Congress declared the Mountain Valley Pipeline's completion is "required in the national interest" and ratified approvals needed for construction and operation.
Miller said she "introduced legislation to finish the Mountain Valley Pipeline" and "passing my provision in the Fiscal Responsibility Act" made completion law.
Sponsor: Rep. Miller, Carol D. [R-WV-1] (Introduced 01/14/2026); Latest Action: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Miller said she joined the White House ceremony as Trump delivered on a promise to "unleash American energy dominance through coal mining" and that she would ensure coal remains a dominant fuel source.
Assessments
Miller made concrete same-term efforts to protect coal and gas interests, including sponsoring bills aimed at aiding refined coal and blocking EPA power-plant regulation, publicly supporting coal-focused executive action, and claiming a role in enacted Fiscal Responsibility Act language that helped complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline. The pipeline provision is a tangible pro-gas outcome, but the broader promise to protect both coal and gas industries is open-ended, and key coal-specific measures cited had not become law by the assessment date. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
Miller made concrete same-term efforts to protect coal and gas interests, including introducing bills aimed at supporting refined coal and blocking EPA rules affecting fossil-fuel power plants, and she publicly aligned with pro-coal executive actions. There was also a tangible gas-industry result: enacted Fiscal Responsibility Act language advanced completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which her office claimed she helped secure. However, the broader promise to protect both coal and gas industries was not fully delivered as a comprehensive outcome, and much of the coal-related record is effort, sponsorship, or support rather than enacted policy attributable to her. This warrants partial credit with an effort badge.
Miller made concrete same-term efforts to protect coal and gas interests, including sponsoring bills to block EPA power-plant rules and extend refined-coal tax credits, publicly backing pro-coal executive action, and claiming a role in enacted Fiscal Responsibility Act language that advanced completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. The pipeline provision is a tangible pro-gas industry result, but the broader promise to protect coal and gas industries is open-ended and not fully delivered across the sectors, especially where several coal-related measures remained only introduced or referred. Overall this supports partial fulfillment in the same term.
