Obama’s recently released climate change initiative calls for the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to unleash yet another energy
regulation aimed at reducing greenhouse gases from existing power
plants, severely threatening the generation of affordable and reliable
energy. This is only one piece of an unprecedented EPA regulatory
assault unleashed in the past few years as detailed by ALEC’s latest
report, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Assault on State Sovereignty.
In yesterday’s blog post, examples of how the EPA has consolidated and centralized regulatory control at the expense of the states were provided. In this second blog post, we highlight a few of the EPA regulations coming in the next few years that are analyzed in ALEC’s report.
Examples of such regulations include: (1) new ozone and carbon dioxide standards, (2) federal control over hydraulic fracturing, and (3) standards that would effectively render it impossible to generate electricity from coal.
