CAPITO STATEMENT: EPA'S UNNECESSARY, UNATTAINABLE AIR REGULATION THREATENS AMERICAN JOBS

Press Release

Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Environment

"The Biden administration's punishing air standard finalized today is simply not realistic to meet. To comply with this rule, states will need to limit development across large areas of the country, threatening manufacturing and energy projects, limiting economic growth, and leaving millions of Americans behind to deal with the negative consequences. Given the vast majority of PM2.5 emissions come from non-point sources like wildfires, we urged the administration not to go too far or target American businesses by setting its particulate matter standard too low. It's disappointing to see the EPA is moving ahead without considering these important factors."
