Ed Whitfield: “It looks like EPA is setting the energy policy for America.”

I want clean air. I want clean water. But I don't want an organized attack on the energy-producing sector of America because of, to use Mr. McNerney's term, a political decision to go after hydrocarbons.

Well, some States would disagree with that. I've talked to many of them, and they view--even though you went through a process, that you set the standard.

Congress did not write the Clean Air Act to provide EPA with the ability to create new regulatory powers and authorities so it can transform the Nation's energy system.

The Clean Power Plan was like picking up the Constitution and tearing it up.
