House legislation would undo EPA GHG rule

Kansas Representative Jerry Moran has introduced legislation to rescind the EPA’s endangerment rule on greenhouse gases.

The legislation, known as a disapproval resolution, would invalidate the EPA rule and would prevent the agency from moving forward unless Congress passes a subsequent law authorizing such a regulation. 

Moran argues that the Clean Air Act was never intended to regulate greenhouse gases.  He says proceeding with the rule would have devastating effects on the economy.  Moran sponsored legislation earlier this year that would prohibit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from being classified as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
