WASHINGTON, DC - House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-KY) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court issued a stay of the administration’s Clean Power Plan:
“This decision is huge as the court essentially hit the brakes on the EPA’s version of Obamacare. This could help stop the administration from trying to regulate without legislative authority. The court’s stay reaffirms the committee’s work to protect ratepayers everywhere from the administration’s unprecedented regulatory attack on affordable and reliable electricity. Our oversight shined a bright light on the serious legal questions and the rule’s shaky ground, and we are pleased the Supreme Court agreed. Our work to protect American ratepayers continues."
