Ed Whitfield: “The impacts of this climate agenda go beyond the lost jobs and consumer pain.”

Despite the stay of the Clean Power Plan, last week EPA published a 44-page proposed rule setting forth the details for Clean Energy Incentive Program.

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.

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.

If that happens and if you're still at the EPA I want you to go to Fairfield, Texas with Congressman Bill Flores and explain to those people who've lost their jobs how you've improved their environment.
