“Policymakers Standing Up to Imperial EPA on Climate Policy”
A bipartisan trio of House members on Tuesday introduced a bill to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
Reps. Ike Skelton (D-MO), Collin C. Peterson (D-MN), and Jo Anne Emerson (R-MO) introduced H.R. 4572, which would also amend the 2007 Energy Bill to stop EPA from calculating land use changes in foreign countries in determining American renewable fuels policy, and would broaden the definition of renewable biomass.
“Simply put, we cannot tolerate turning over the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions to unelected bureaucrats at EPA,” Skelton said. “America’s energy and environmental policies should be set by Congress.”
