Earthjustice Statement on Senate Vote Against the Clean Power Plan

Earthjustice issued a statement criticizing the U.S. Senate's passage of S.J. Res. 24, a resolution under the Congressional Review Act intended to disapprove and repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan.

• The U.S. Senate passed S.J. Res. 24, sponsored by Senator Shelley Moore Capito, which aims to disapprove the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan and prevent the implementation of any substantially similar rule without further Congressional action.
• Earthjustice describes the Clean Power Plan as the most significant action the United States has taken regarding climate change, specifically targeting carbon pollution from existing coal-fired power plants.
• The President of the United States issued a Statement of Administration Policy opposing the Senate resolution and indicated that a veto would be used to block it.
