Bill 118 hjres 177 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove 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.
If passed, this bill would essentially nullify the EPA's rule and prevent it from being implemented. The reasoning behind this disapproval is not explicitly stated in the bill itself, but it is likely that some members of Congress believe that the rule is overly burdensome on the fossil fuel industry or that it infringes on states' rights.
Overall, Bill 118 hjres 177 is a significant piece of legislation that could have far-reaching implications for the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. It will be interesting to see how Congress ultimately decides to vote on this bill and what impact it will have on environmental policy moving forward.
