WASHINGTON, D. C. - U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown announced Wednesday that he’ll back a congressional drive to overturn a clean power plan that the Biden Administration announced in April.
Brown said the final regulations would be particularly harmful to Ohio’s rural electric cooperatives, saying they rely on promising but currently unproven and unavailable pollution control technologies. Coupled with unachievable compliance timelines that could cost union jobs, he believes they will hurt rural electric co-ops, and raise energy costs for Ohioans.
