U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley spoke to KCII News about the rules the Environmental Protection Agency proposed on emissions. “They go probably way beyond what their power is. And the reason I say I’m suspicious that it goes beyond their power is because a year ago, about this time, the Supreme Court issued what was called a West Virginia case, and at that time, the Court said that something that the EPA was doing they could not point to a specific part of the statute that gave them the power to issue that regulation. Let me make it very clear that when I tend to talk negatively about the Environmental Protection Agency and what they are trying to do that, maybe I think is bad, where they are at fault is trying to stretch a statute way beyond Congress’s intent.” The EPA announced proposed new carbon pollution standards for coal and gas-fired power plants in May.
