Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released a statement on the Administration’s proposal to gut the Clean Power Plan:
“This decision will severely undermine our nation's efforts to promote clean air and combat climate change. It will also put our workers at a competitive disadvantage when it comes to competing for good-paying, clean energy jobs. In particular, children who have asthma or other diseases suffer when we fail to take aggressive action on clean air. And, as reported by the New York Times, the new rules could lead to as many as 1,400 premature deaths annually by 2030."
