This week, EPA and its allies are leading a full-court press to promote the agency’s controversial regulations to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from existing power plants. EPA is holding some listening sessions around the country, and administrator Gina McCarthy and her lieutenants are giving speeches and holding press events. While the rule is not yet finalized, a closer look at both the Administration’s statements and the historical impact of environmental regulations will give the public a better sense of what the new EPA rule will mean for American families. Not surprisingly, the EPA is less than transparent on just how far-reaching the negative impacts of the rule will be.
