EPA Declines to Criticize Rockefeller Bill

EPA on Thursday declined to criticize Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s (D-WV) new bill that would block regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from stationary industrial facilities like power plants and factories for two years.

The EPA released an official statement:

EPA is still reviewing the bill that Senator Rockefeller introduced today. It is important to note that Senator Rockefeller’s bill, unlike Senator Murkowski’s resolution, does not attempt to overturn or deny the scientific fact that unchecked greenhouse gas pollution threatens the well-being of the American people – nor would it threaten the historic clean cars program announced by the Obama Administration last year.
