Hoyer Statement on the Supreme Court’s Stay of the Clean Power Plan Rule
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement tonight on the Supreme Court’s decision to stay implementation of the Clean Power Plan rule:
"I am deeply concerned by the Supreme Court's decision to delay the implementation and enforcement of the Clean Power Plan while the rule is reviewed by the courts. State plans to address carbon pollution and protect public health are sorely need across our country. This decision will allow some states to delay action while the negative impacts of climate change continue to mount. We should be leading the world and growing our nation's economy by developing lower carbon sources of energy and acting swiftly to address the real and growing threats that a changing climate - and the storms, droughts, and severe weather that climate change exacerbates - poses to our nation. I believe that once the court case is heard on its merits, the Clean Power Plan will be upheld and allowed to move forward."
