The POPP Act highlights EPA\u2019s proposal of restricting power generation at new and existing energy facilities across the United States, hence undermining domestic energy production.\n\n\"Republicans in Congress are once again defending American energy production. The House of Representatives passed the Protect our Power Plants Act in the Fiscal Year 2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill which protects U.S. energy plants, bolsters our energy independence, and stops President Biden\u2019s Green New Deal agenda from destroying our energy dominance,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller. \u201cSenator Capito and I are focused on promoting American energy policies that will ensure West Virginia remains an energy dominant state for years to come. The Protect Our Power Plants Act is a needed check on Washington Democrats\u2019 radical environmental policies and promotes American energy production. This is a win for West Virginia and the United States as we prioritize U.S. energy policies and our coal- and gas-fired power plants fuel the United States.\"\n\n\u201cThe Biden administration\u2019s Clean Power Plan 2.0 makes it clear they intend to ignore the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in West Virginia v. EPA, put the people who help power our nation out of work, and increase energy costs for millions of Americans. In the face of this illegal overreach, Congresswoman Miller and I introduced the Protect Our Power Plants Act to stand up for workers and families in energy-producing communities across the country, including those in West Virginia. Today\u2019s action by the House demonstrates yet again that the Biden Administration is pursuing politics through regulation that would not pass in Congress. We will continue our efforts to protect West Virginia from the Biden Administration\u2019s overreach,\u201d said Senator Capito.\n\nClick here to view the Protect our Power Plants Act.\n\nClick here to view Fiscal Year 2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe FY2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill will:\n\nCut wasteful Washington spending,\n\nPrioritize funding for public safety, critical operations, and maintenance programs,\n\nLimits EPA\u2019s overreach,\n\nRestricts abuse of the endangered species act,\n\nProvides protections for domestic oil and gas production,\n\nSupports American Values.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-capito-popp-act-passes-house-representatives"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5082689933478832, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
