H. RES. 606
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 29, 2012
Mr. Austria (for himself, Mr. Rogers of Kentucky, Mr. Jordan, Mr. Johnson of Ohio, Mr. Latta, and Mr. McCaul) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of
Representatives regarding the notice signed by the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency Lisa Jackson on March 27, 2012, entitled
Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for New Stationary
Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units
.
That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
Americans rely on coal and the inexpensive energy it provides for nearly half of our energy needs;
the proposed rule entitled Standards
of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for New Stationary Sources:
Electric Utility Generating Units
will likely lead to increased energy
costs for consumers, small business owners, and manufacturers which
would—
result in the loss of American jobs;
make American businesses less competitive; and
damage our Nation’s economic recovery; and
the Environmental Protection Agency should not be setting energy policy for the Nation with environmental regulations that for all practical purposes dictate fuel choices for new power plants.
