Davis Statement on EPA Emissions Rule | 2013-09-20 | 2013 | 2013-09 | Republican | House | IL | Rodney Davis | D000619 | web.archive.org | legacy | Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) today released the following statement in response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s announcement that it will limit future power plants' greenhouse gas emissions, including standards that will require coal-burning plants to capture about 40 percent of their carbon dioxide emissions: “Today’s rule is a war on coal and a war on jobs right here in Illinois because it is effectively the same as the proposal from just a few months ago – a ban on new, more-efficient coal plants,” said Davis. “This rule totally ignores the fact that today’s coal-fired power plants are exponentially more advanced, cleaner and more efficient than those of just a few years ago. It’s very clear that once the EPA sets rules for new power plants it will turn its attention to rules for existing power plants, which is an extremely dangerous path for America’s energy future and independence.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
