Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller’s (R-WV) and Senator Shelley Moore Capito’s (R-WV) Protect our Power Plants (POPP) Act, passed the House of Representatives in the Fiscal Year 2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill. The Protect our Power Plants Act will prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing their proposal that would close coal- and gas-fired power plants across the nation. The POPP Act highlights EPA’s proposal of restricting power generation at new and existing energy facilities across the United States, hence undermining domestic energy production. "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’s Green New Deal agenda from destroying our energy dominance,” said Congresswoman Miller. “Senator 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’ 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." “The Biden administration’s Clean Power Plan 2.0 makes it clear they intend to ignore the Supreme Court’s 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’s 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’s overreach,” said Senator Capito. Click here to view the Protect our Power Plants Act.
