Bill 118 hjres 163 is a piece of legislation that aims to provide congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. The rule in question pertains to the New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed fossil fuel-fired electric generating units, as well as emission guidelines for existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. Additionally, the rule seeks to repeal the Affordable Clean Energy Rule.
The bill seeks to challenge and overturn the EPA's rule, which sets standards for greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Supporters of the bill argue that the EPA's rule is too stringent and would impose unnecessary burdens on the fossil fuel industry. They believe that the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, which the EPA's rule seeks to repeal, is a more reasonable and balanced approach to regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
Opponents of the bill argue that the EPA's rule is necessary to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They believe that the Affordable Clean Energy Rule is not effective in addressing the urgent need to reduce emissions from power plants.
Overall, Bill 118 hjres 163 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over how best to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. It will be interesting to see how Congress ultimately decides to address this issue.
