U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate today passed two bipartisan resolutions disapproving of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) climate regulations. I'm pleased that the Senate affirmed what the American people have been saying about President Obama and the EPA's national energy tax. The tax has been challenged in court by 27 states, 24 national trade associations, 37 rural electric cooperatives, 10 major companies and 3 labor unions representing 878,000 members.It's expected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 15 years, and will force electricity prices even higher for Americans who are already struggling to pay their bills. As a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, I wish to commend Chairman Jim Inhofe (R-OK) for his tireless leadership on this issue, and know that I remain committed to holding the Obama Administration and rogue agencies like the EPA accountable for their actions. ### Print Email Tweet Next Article Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
