BATON ROUGE, LA (June 30, 2022) - Today, The United States Supreme Court ruled that the Clean Power Plan implemented under President Obama that sought to administratively determine power sector emission levels exceeded executive authority under the Clean Air Act.
In response, LOGA President Mike Moncla issued the following statement:
“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is a step in the right direction for our great nation. This decision takes governmental overreach from appointed bureaucrats and puts it back into the hands of legislators.
The EPA’s actions and regulations have been in lockstep with the left wing’s green agenda. These types of actions cost Americans at the pump, as they continue to tighten the noose on producers and refiners, making it harder to drill for oil and gas, and more expensive to refine it. We applaud this Supreme Court decision and look forward to more balanced decisions toward our industry in the future.”
