Capito Statement on Biden Issuing Government-Wide Mandate to Consider Flawed "Social Cost of Carbon" Metrics

Press Release

"The Biden administration continues to use unproven figures to attempt to justify its environmental policies that drive up costs for families, hamstring American employers, and delay job-creating infrastructure projects from ever moving forward. Today's announcement is more of the same devastating, top-down government mandates intended to kill energy jobs and make the United States more reliant on foreign countries. The problem is the math doesn't add up, and in fact, doesn't exist. I've asked the administration repeatedly for details, proof points, and facts on where its "Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases' numbers come from and how they're using them, and they've chosen to move forward anyway with overreaching, broad directives with no regard for transparency, public input, or impacts on millions of Americans."
