ST. LOUIS (AP) — The newly released federal plan to limit carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants triggered a new line of debate Tuesday over whether fracking in coal-rich southern Illinois may be part of the answer.

State Rep. John Bradley, a Marion Democrat who represents an area where mining has been a force for more than a century, believes the Obama administration’s draft regulations unveiled Monday will hurt coal-related jobs. The state was given a goal of cutting emissions by one-third from 2012 levels.
