“Electric service providers in Missouri have warned that the EPA's so-called Clean Power Plan will raise energy costs for Missourians, reduce jobs, and hurt our state's economic competitiveness. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I've fought hard to ensure provisions that would defund this harmful power grab were included in the final appropriations bill. I also support legislation to block this harmful rule and protect workers and families from the damaging effects of the Obama Administration's executive overreach and costly energy regulations.” HardStatesJobsEnergyHurtSupportPlansEconomicEffectsCostProtectMembersRaisesBillsCleanWorkersFinalsBlockAdministrationExecutivesSenateRegulationElectricCommitteesLegislationProvisionProvidersCompetitivenessAppropriationMissouriService ProvidersEpa Author:Roy Blunt
