A top Senate Republican is warning that the Environmental Protection Agency will try to restructure every industry in the country if it can successfully defend its Clean Power Plan in court.
The Clean Power Plan is President Obama’s signature environmental regulation on new and existing coal and power plants and has been in the crosshairs of Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., since it was first proposed. Inhofe, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, said Thursday he thinks the regulation could just be a sign of things to come.
