Republicans Attempt to Block U.S. Agency’s CO2 Rules
Republicans are trying to block the Obama administration for a year from issuing regulations restricting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, oil refineries and factories.
The threat of the Environmental Protection Agency regulating so-called greenhouse gases is being used as a “hammer” to pressure Congress to pass a national “cap- and- trade” program to restrict emissions, Senator Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said in an interview.
