WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued the following statement following the Trump administration’s announcement to repeal the Clean Power Plan:
“Repealing the Clean Power Plan is the right move for the economy and for the rule of law. The Obama administration’s signature climate rule was a vast, unlawful expansion of government authority into the energy sector with wide-reaching consequences for our economy. The rule has been especially devastating to coal country. Congress will continue to work with the Trump administration to promote an energy strategy that gets government out of the business of picking winners and losers and instead encourages all types of energy sources.”
