摘要

Top House and Senate Republicans are jointly crafting a pair of bills aimed at easing EPA's proposed rules to regulate greenhouse gases (GHGs) at new and existing power plants, though they are stopping short of scuttling the rules and challenging EPA's authority to address carbon dioxide (CO2) and other GHG emissions. Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee's energy and power subcommittee, said Feb. 24 that the GOP has decided to "acquiesce" to EPA's authority to regulate CO2 but will push forward separate bills aimed at easing the agency's proposed new source performance standards (NSPS) and the existing source performance standards (ESPS). Whitfield told an energy symposium hosted by consulting firm Faegre Baker Daniels that the bills would seek to retain coal-fired generation as part of the nation's energy resource mix under the NSPS by allowing plants without carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) - such as highly efficient "supercritical" plants - to comply. The bill addressing the ESPS would push back controversial interim compliance deadlines under the ESPS.
