The EPA had a rule in place to limit pollution from the largest polluters to address climate change.\n\n\u201cYesterday\u2019s decision by the EPA ignores science and will seriously threaten our environment. We can\u2019t let their decision stand, and we will keep fighting to reduce pollution and stop climate change.\u201d\n\nHickenlooper has long pushed for real, science-based climate policy. He played a key role in passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which was the largest climate investment ever, and is fighting against Washington Republicans\u2019 attempts to undermine the law.\n\nHickenlooper has called out the Trump admin\u2019s reckless decision to undermine the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) \u201cendangerment finding,\u201d which determined that greenhouse gas pollution harms Americans and is a serious threat to public health. The rollback would defy decades of science, EPA precedent, and Supreme Court rulings and lead to more pollution across the U.S. Hickenlooper has also fought against the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) rejection of Colorado\u2019s updated Regional Haze Plan.\n\nAs Colorado governor, Hickenlooper worked with environmentalists and oil and gas companies to create the world\u2019s first methane rules, which were later used as a national model by the Obama administration.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-16T09:43:13Z", "2026-09-16T09:44:22Z"]], "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://www.hickenlooper.senate.gov/press_releases/hickenlooper-statement-on-epas-decision-to-erase-climate-pollution-limits-from-power-plants/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8705897964537144, "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"}
