(Washington, D.C.) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement on President Trump’s Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule which replaces the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan (CPP):

“I am pleased to see President Trump has taken action to replace the Obama Administration’s failed Clean Power Plan which exceeded authority Congress gave to the EPA and which never fully went into effect due to Supreme Court intervention. President Trump’s Affordable Clean Energy Rule gives power back to the states, incentives private investment in new, cleaner technologies, and aims to reduce CO2, mercury, and ozone precursors from coal-fired electric generation. The Affordable Clean Energy Rule helps to strengthen our energy independence while protecting the environment and ensures for a more reliable and resilient energy grid for all Hoosiers.”
