Coats Statement on Supreme Court’s Stay of Obama Clean Power Plan

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s stay of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new and heavy-handed regulations on coal-fired power plants.

“The Supreme Court’s stay of President Obama’s Clean Power Plan sends a critical signal that the EPA cannot overreach its authority. This rule will cause irreparable harm to Hoosiers and our economy and is a clear example of executive overreach under this president.”
