Two resolutions to block the Clean Power Plan and the carbon emissions goals set for states were approved by a House subcommittee mostly along party lines Tuesday afternoon.
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s energy and power subcommittee voted 15-12 on both House Joint Resolutions 71 and 72, which would allow Congress to block President Obama’s signature climate change regulation. Kentucky Republican Rep. Ed Whitfield, chairman of the subcommittee, said he believes the Clean Power Plan would be unworkable and do more harm than good.
