Ed Whitfield: “This is an important piece of legislation, and it makes a lot of sense for the reasons that I have already stated.”

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

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.

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