Coalition urges Trump to scrap Obama Clean Power Plan
A 24 state coalition led by West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey and Texas AG Ken Paxton demands swift action from President-elect Trump and congressional leaders to withdraw the Clean Power Plan. They urge a day one executive order, court action to reverse the plan, and longer term legislative fixes to block future EPA rules. The effort cites past litigation that halted the regulation and calls it a crucial step to revive coal jobs amid competition from natural gas.
