“Environmentalists would have you choose a world between reliable energy and environmental progress – but that is a false choice.”
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Railroad Commission of Texas Chairman Wayne Christian issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision (West Virginia, et al. v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)) on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) federal overreach with the Clean Air Act.
“The Supreme Court of the United States is on a roll and continues to get it right – defending the Constitution, protecting states’ rights and ensuring Americans don’t answer to unelected bureaucrats,” said Chairman Christian.
“Today’s decision is a win for good government, American energy producers and for hardworking taxpayers who simply need cheap, plentiful and reliable energy.”
“Environmentalists would have you choose a world between reliable energy and environmental progress – but that is a false choice,” continued Christian.
“Oil, natural gas, and coal have lifted people out of poverty, fed the hungry, warmed the cold, healed the sick, and created a more stable world. In fact, mankind is more prepared and safer from climate change than ever before thanks to fossil fuels.
"The Supreme Court's action will ensure that – for now – we still live in a country that thrives on the use and production of reliable fossil fuels.”
