Ed Whitfield: “Cumbersome red tape in our regulatory process forces ratepayers to pay more for safe, clean nuclear power.”

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.

Well, a lot of us did not believe that to be true.

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

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.
