EPA's triple threat to the economy

This week, the Environmental Protection Agency released one of the strictest water rules ever issued, part of what could be the most expansive regulatory binge in the agency’s history. The EPA’s slew of new rules could collectively lead to an erosion of private property rights, higher electricity rates, job losses, stranded assets and a less reliable electric grid.

The three new regulations are Waters of the United States (WOTUS), the Clean Power Plan and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone.
