Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs’ Statement on SCOTUS’ Decision to allow the EPA to implement their Power Plant Rule

Washington, D.C. – The Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs Representatives Carol Miller (R-WV), Dan Meuser (R-PA), Harriet Hageman (R-WY), and Morgan Griffith (R-VA) released a statement on the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement their power plant greenhouse gas rule. 

“While we are disappointed in the Supreme Court's decision not to stay the EPA’s power plant greenhouse gas rule, we are hopeful that the Washington D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will overturn this illegal rule. This rule unfairly targets coal and gas-fired power plants and furthers the Biden-Harris administration's far left agenda. The United States produces energy cleaner and more efficiently than any other developed nation in the world, and stifling American energy production will only empower our adversaries. As the co-chairs of the coal caucus, we will do everything in our power to stop this illegal rule from hurting American workers and consumers,” said the Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs. 

The Congressional Coal Caucus is the voice of American coal communities in Congress. It represents both eastern and western mining states, along with all of the types of coal produced throughout the country.
