I called on President Obama to reassess the EPA’s proposed regulations on new coal-fired power plants. I have long said that we need to reduce emissions, but the Administration’s proposed regulations on new coal-fired power plants are forcing companies to use clean coal technology that isn’t yet available. Instead, we need to incentivize the development of clean coal technology to improve air quality while also finding a realistic path forward for coal – as the bill I introduced would do. I called on the President to reassess its proposed rule because coal provides nearly 80 percent of North Dakota’s electricity, and if we just freeze coal out of our system, coal jobs will go away and electricity costs will spike.
