allowing Governors to join in this attempt to just say no to the Clean Power Plan will fly in the face of decades of the Clean Air Act's use of cooperative federalism.

This bill reflects robust bipartisan outreach, which I hope to continue in the coming weeks.
I just hope that we can make changes to ensure that EPA has the resources as we move forward.
It is a fact, is it not, that the United States emits more carbon pollution than any other nation except China, and existing power plants are the country's largest single source of carbon pollution?
Improving the Federal Government's ability to identify and manage risks from the chemicals manufactured and processed in this country is critical.
this bill would provide an incentive for polluters to 'run the clock' on litigation.
Under this bill, large sources of carbon pollution could be exempt from any meaningful restrictions.
Today's hearing on a bill to gut the President's Clean Power Plan is misguided and unfortunate.
The testimony we hear today will be essential as we work to move this draft forward.
I do not support this legislation, and urge members to closely examine its harmful effects on our country's progress to combat damaging pollution and catastrophic climate change.
