ACCCE launches video to slam Clean Power Plan ahead of legal appeal

The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) recently launched a video and radio spot to detail its position in the West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency court battle, which the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear soon.

The ACCCE, which is a party in the lawsuit against the EPA, created the video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvA4cIGzxko), along with an audio version for the radio, to magnify its position against the Clean Power Plan, which would tighten emissions regulations on new and existing power plants. The group said the plan threatens states' rights and would result in higher energy costs for consumers throughout the country.
 
“The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision is critically important, as it will either put a halt to the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) out-of-control regulatory decision making or give it the green light to continue to run roughshod over states’ constitutional rights,” Laura Sheehan, ACCCE's senior vice president of communications, said. “We are hopeful that the judges rule that the administration’s Clean Power Plan is beyond the reach of its authority and that the next administration and Congress can work together to craft a balanced energy policy.”
 
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will begin hearing oral arguments on the case next week.
