Senator Sherrod Brown this week announced his support of a resolution halting the U.S. EPA’s Clean Power Plan 2.0, imposing strict emission requirements on coal and gas-fired power plants. “We applaud the leadership of Sen. Sherrod Brown for supporting the effort to repeal the Clean Power Plan 2.0,” OMA President Ryan Augsburger said in a statement this week. “This policy and its unobtainable standards would hamstring new competitive natural gas power plants, reduce production, discourage investment in new generation, and reduce grid reliability.” The resolution, introduced in both chambers, has support from 182 total members of Congress, including Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, and Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12), who introduced the resolution in the House. 6/12/2024
