Capito: EPA "Skirting the Law' with Continued Implementation of Stayed Clean Power Plan
Statement
Issues: Energy Environment
U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today criticized the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) release of its proposed Clean Energy Incentive Program, a program designed to assist with implementation of the Clean Power Plan, which has been stayed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"EPA's blatant disregard for the rule of law and the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the harmful Clean Power Plan is its latest assault against energy-producing states like West Virginia. By choosing to advance the president's climate agenda despite its pending legal status, EPA is not only skirting the law, it is wasting significant taxpayer dollars while putting American jobs at risk," said Senator Capito.
