While Oklahoma families are struggling to put food on the table, Joe Biden’s
@EPA
is regulating entrepreneurs out of existence and setting new rules that will send meat and poultry prices through the roof.
@EPWGOP
“Capito expressed concern that EPA’s coming standards will cripple coal and natural gas…and that the Biden administration’s energy evolution will result in strains on the nation’s energy grid.”

- On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 393 - 13, 1 Present (Roll no. 194).
Here they go again.
The
@EPA
is back with a barrage of rules and regulations meant to accomplish two main goals:
➡️ Kill coal and natural gas once and for all
➡️ Appease the climate activists who the president feels he needs to keep happy in an election year
“This is Round 2 of the Obama administration’s ‘war on coal’ except the Biden administration is issuing even more regulations at an even greater cost.
And this time, the war is not just against coal, but also against natural gas and American manufacturing.”

Biden’s EPA is mandating up to 2/3rds of all new cars and trucks be EVs by 2032. I’ve introduced bipartisan Congressional Review Act legislation to block this delusional rule. Here’s why:
“So we have an administration that is telling us to drive electric cars, we’ve got AI coming on, we've got data centers coming on that are huge consumers of power…
And this administration is saying, but you can't have baseload power.”

with a reality check 🎥⬇️
Today, EPW voted to advance the nomination of Christopher Hanson to serve another term on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Ranking Member Capito voted in favor of Hanson’s nomination, citing key commitments he made during the process.

With the latest iteration of the illegal Clean Power Plan 2.0, President Biden has inexplicably doubled down on his plans to shut down the backbone of America’s electric grid through an unachievable regulatory mandate.
President Biden's Green New Deal inspired Clean Power Plan 2.0 is not only unrealistic but dangerous.
It will force the closure of gas and coal-fired plants that account for 60% of electricity generated at the same time
@POTUS
' EV mandate increases demand by 30%.
To protect millions of Americans, including energy workers, against executive overreach that has already been tried and rejected by SCOTUS, I will be introducing a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval to overturn the
@EPA
’s job-killing regulations announced today.
CPP 2.0 is just like 1.0: illegal & irresponsible.
Biden's attacking our energy production while mandating EVs that require MORE energy production. Another delusional, reckless mandate designed to threaten affordable & reliable energy.
Count me in on any effort to overturn it.
Grateful to
@SenCapito
for leading the charge against yet another Biden Admin. regulatory overreach. The EPA’s latest power grab is a recipe for even higher energy prices, more electricity blackouts, and weaker national security. Americans can’t afford it — and Kentuckians least…
⚠️ The
@EPA
finalized four impractical & discriminatory power generation rules, jeopardizing the US power grid. The intended goal is obvious: to regulate ND’s coal industry out of existence at the expense of American consumers & reliable power generation.
