The Environmental Protection Agency continues to be one of President Obama’s most aggressive and costly agencies. Through its massive new regulatory agenda, the EPA has declared war on hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
Now EPA regulators are poised to implement a "maximum achievable control technology" rule, which threatens hundreds of thousands of jobs and the reliability of our nation’s electricity grid while raising the cost of electricity.
According to the EPA's own analysis, MACT is the most expensive rule the agency has ever written for power plants. The National Economic Research Associates estimates that implementation of the MACT rule will result in:
Double digit increases in the price of electricity in at least 30 states.
A minimum of 183,000 jobs lost every year from 2012 through 2020.
Loss of reliability in the national power grid, leading to rolling blackouts and brownouts.
In short, America can't afford the MACT rule.
Sign the petition below to tell Congress to reject the MACT rule and end the EPA's war on jobs and American businesses.
