Ryan: Obama’s Clean Power Rule Is Designed to ‘Cripple’ the Fossil Fuel Industry

"Today, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing arguments in a challenge against it. This is a rule that is especially egregious. It’s an egregious example of this president’s unlawful overreach. It essentially forces states to upend their energy economies, without an act of Congress. It is designed to cripple fossil fuels, moving us away from energy that is reliable and affordable—and doing it without a vote of Congress. It is another frontward attack on coal country, which has already been decimated by this administration’s policies. All told, it is estimated that this one rule will raise electricity prices in all 47 states that it affects."
