Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), issued the following statement after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced steps to reconsider the Biden administration’s detrimental Clean Power Plan 2.0 rule.
“Throughout its tenure, the Biden administration attempted to dramatically expand federal regulatory authority, harming American energy production in the process. The Biden-Harris Clean Power Plan 2.0 would have harmed the affordability and reliability of electricity generation and raised prices on Nebraskan families. I am pleased to see that President Trump's EPA is taking action to reconsider this overreach and return America to energy dominance,” said Senator Fischer.
Background:
In 2023, Senator Fischer joined 38 of her Republican Senate colleagues in sending former U.S. EPA Administrator Michael Regan a letter requesting the withdrawal of the Clean Power Plan 2.0 proposed rule.
