| https://kinzinger.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398952 | Kinzinger responds to new EPA regulations | 2013-09-20 | 2013 | 2013-09 | Republican | House | IL | Adam Kinzinger | K000378 | kinzinger.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON - Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) today released the following statement after the EPA announced new regulations on coal-producing facilities: The President has made painfully clear what his energy plan is: less domestic energy, fewer jobs, and less opportunity for Americans, said Kinzinger. He's eager to enact new regulations on domestic energy producers, driving up prices for families and businesses, yet he's been delaying the Keystone pipeline for over five years a project that will produce thousands of jobs at no costs to taxpayers. It is vital for both our national security and economic wellbeing that America pursue a true all of the above' energy approach, and these latest regulations only move us further in the wrong direction. On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new limits on greenhouse gas emissions for future coal plants, and reports expect the agency to announce regulations on existing coal plants sometime next year. Experts estimate the regulations on existing plants would affect 37,000 American jobs. The new regulations would be implemented by the EPA under the Clean Air Act, bypassing Congressional action. On August 1, 2013, the House passed the Energy Consumers Relief Act to establish greater transparency of energy-related rules and prohibit the EPA from implementing rules that would significantly affect the economy without the approval of Congress. The bill passed the House with bipartisan support, but has not been taken up by the Senate. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
