Attorney General Curtis Hill has joined a coalition of 26 states and state agencies in support of permanently rescinding the so-called Clean Power Plan.
The bipartisan coalition filed its public comment letter as part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed repeal of the Power Plan. It encourages the EPA to eliminate the overreaching Obama-era rule and return authority to manage energy resources to the states.
“Everyone believes in protecting the environment and working toward cleaner energy production,†said Attorney General Hill. “The issue here is the federal government’s usurpation of prerogatives that rightfully should remain at the state level. We must always stand prepared to defend Indiana against federal overreach.â€
Attorney General Hill joined the West Virginia-led letter with attorneys general from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming, along with the Louisiana Public Service Commission, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and the Mississippi Public Service Commission.
