I stand in opposition to the gentleman's amendment very simply because we know that the Clean Air Act--under the greenhouse gas regulations as proposed by EPA, it will be impossible to build a new coal-powered plant in America. Because of that, we're going to lose a lot of jobs in this country. At this time, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly).

27 States filed a lawsuit against the Clean Power Plan, and the Supreme Court issued a stay.
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.
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.
