Ed Whitfield: “EPA's Clean Power Plan and other regulations pose a serious threat to fuel diversity and electric reliability.”

Why do you think the Supreme Court issued a stay of the Clean Power Plan?

Amen. I was just in China and we saw their reports in the local press. They're building new power plants they know they don't need. They just want the jobs, more coal emissions. So, again, it's a global challenge. It's not just America's…

As I see it, the RFS was enacted largely for three reasons--to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and to strengthen rural economies.

This subcommittee has cast a critical eye on several major regulations--such as the ozone rule and the Clean Power Plan--that threaten billions of dollars in costs and thousands of jobs.
