Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Im extremely disappointed in the Supreme Court ruling which upheld the EPAs flawed and unfair Cross State Air Pollution rule said Cong. Pete Olson (TX-22) earlier today following the Supreme Courts ruling upholding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Cross State Air Pollution Rule.
wrongfully included in the CSAPR rule at the last-minute with no opportunity to comment. While the Supreme Court is the final arbiter this rule is at the core of EPAs attack on reliable power in the United States.
Upholding this rule will place a great deal of stress on Texas electricity grid.
When EPA issued the original rule at least two Texas plants were scheduled for closure now that the final rule has been upheld we must prepare for plant closures and further strains on reliability. I will be looking at legislative options to minimize the impacts on Texans and all Americans forced to comply with this flawed rule.
