"The Clean Power Plan 2.0 amounts to a form of federal commandeering," Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of the Heritage Foundation's Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment, said in a statement. "States are faced with a loss of a significant portion of their electricity generation capacity, and their manufacturing base, by restructuring their energy systems to align with the EPA's vision. This is not cooperative federalism; it is coercion."
Additionally, EPA suggested a repeal of the 2015 emissions rule for new fossil fuel-fired power plants, issued under former President Barack Obama's administration.
