Res. 24, a joint resolution to provide for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relating to Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units. Mr. Speaker, theres no question that we are all searching for a brighter future for generations to come. We disagree, however, on how to get there and, in this case, the effects that our decisions could have on the environment and the American family in the process. Frankly, the EPAs Clean Power Plan will result in little-to-no environmental benefit at the expense of thousands of jobs and countless dollars and hours spent on compliance, all for the sake of an unrelenting government agencys agenda and the desired environmental legacy of this Administration. Its as simple as that. The full video can be found here. Congressman Steve Womack has represented Arkansass Third Congressional District since 2011 and serves on the House Appropriations Defense, Financial Services and General Government, and Labor-Health and Human Services subcommittees and the House Committee on the Budget. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
