WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) today issued the following statement after the Trump administration announced its new Affordable Clean Energy rule:

“Affordable energy is so critical to our everyday lives, and it’s also vital to our long-term economic growth. But for years, the Obama administration waged a war on American energy with devastating consequences for workers and manufacturers. The ‘Clean Power Plan’  was just an absolute nightmare for coal country.

“Today, the Trump administration has laid out a better path to responsible energy production that is good for jobs and household budgets. This sets us up to be competitive for years to come. Congress will continue to work with the administration to connect America’s energy boom to consumers and communities.”
