Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the case Michigan v. EPA:

"While this ruling is a welcome rebuke of the Obama administration's runaway EPA, it's too late for many Americans who work at coal plants that have already been negatively impacted by this rule.

"Going forward, this ruling should serve as a check against future actions by this administration to roll out new costly red tape--including the so-called "clean power plan.' Republicans will continue to use every tool we have to stop regulations that will crush jobs, harm public health, and increase energy prices for American families."
