“Alabama Republican Rep. Gary Palmer wants to reassert Congress’s’ authority over the Environmental Protection Agency by putting the brakes on the agency’s global warming regulations,” says this article by Michael Bastasch.
“Palmer’s bill, called the Stopping EPA Overreach Act of 2015, will prohibit the EPA from regulating carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act unless Congress passes legislation allowing the agency to do so.
“EPA finalized its most far-reaching greenhouse gas regulations in August, rules to limit carbon dioxide emissions from new and existing power plants. These rules are expected to force hundreds of coal-fired generators across the country to prematurely retire leaving states, like Alabama, scrambling to build new power plants.
“Palmer’s bill, however, is likely to be vetoed by President Obama if it passes out of the Senate.”
