Thirty-nine lawsuits seeking review of the final rule have been consolidated in the D.C. Circuit. The final rule was stayed by the Supreme Court on Feb. 9. Daines has long fought to protect Montana jobs and access to low-cost energy from the Obama administration's overreach.Daines signedan amicus brief in support of petitions filed by 27 states, including Montana, seeking to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency's so-called Clean Power Plan.
