Obama To Veto House Bill Killing EPA Emissions Regulations

The White House released the following statement reiterating its pledge to veto a House bill that would strip the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from their authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions:

“If the President is presented with this legislation, which would seriously roll back the CAA [Clean Air Act] authority, harm Americans’ health by taking away our ability to decrease carbon pollution, and undercut fuel efficiency standards that will save Americans money at the pump while decreasing our dependence on oil, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill,” reads a statement released by the White House.
