States Should Remain Steadfast in their Opposition to EPA Carbon Rule

WASHINGTON — American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement on the DC Circuit’s decision to deny a stay for EPA’s carbon regulation:

“While not surprising, the DC Circuit’s decision is disappointing and erroneous. If the DC Circuit is not going to protect the American people from EPA’s overreach, it’s all the more important for state leaders to do so. The court’s decision doesn’t change the fact that states should not prematurely make commitments under these carbon regulations. Doing so would send their citizens down a path toward higher electricity costs and fewer jobs, regardless of whether or not the rule is ultimately thrown out in court. State leaders should remain steadfast in their opposition to this unlawful regulation.”
