Murkowski Floor Statement on her EPA Disapproval Resolution
Sen. Murkowski, the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy Committee today introduced a bipartisan disapproval resolution to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Sen. Murkowskis resolution co-sponsored by 35 Republicans and three Democrats comes in the wake of the EPAs recent endangerment finding, which will result in damaging new regulations that endanger Americas economy. Sen. Murkowski said EPA regulation could force businesses being regulated to cut jobs or close their doors for good; severely restrict domestic energy production, increase our dependence on foreign energy suppliers and threaten our national security; make housing less affordable; and make consumer goods more expensive.
