Congresswoman Miller Blasts EPA for Anti-Coal Decision

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV), released a statement on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) latest decision to exclude gas-fired power plants from its previous rule on carbon emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants.

"This new guidance from the EPA is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to destroy the coal industry. The EPA continues to create uncertainty with flawed rule making, resulting in unstable markets and higher energy costs for all Americans. That’s why I introduced the Protect our Power Plants Act with Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), which would overturn this rule in its entirety, and protect all of West Virginia’s power plants from the EPA’s endless regulations on our energy production,” said Congresswoman Miller.
