Sen John Barrasso (R-WY) is going up against the Obama Administration and the EPA. According to Politico.com’s “Morning Energy” newsletter, Sen Barrasso plans to introduce legislation on 24 Jan that will seek to block federal climate rules under the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act.
“The Barrasso bill stops this backdoor attempt to enact Obama’s cap-and-trade agenda through the EPA and the rest of the federal bureaucracy,” said Barrasso spokeswoman Emily Lawimore. “By passing the Barrasso bill, we can protect jobs, consumers, and small businesses from Obama’s overreaching bureaucracy that is stifling job creation and slowing our economic recovery.”
Others in Congress are looking at ways to hamstring the EPA by either “blocking the agency from regulating climate”, or by looking at “the EPA’s funding”.
