The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to oppose the Congressional Review Act resolution on the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule.

The ACE rule was a necessary corrective on the overreaching Clean Power Plan (CPP) from the previous administration.  The CPP asserted entirely new federal powers from the statutory language that had a long-settled interpretation.  As was clear from the CPP’s record in court proceedings, which were so negative that the rule never went into effect, this assertion of new power was unlawful.  The current administration correctly withdrew the unlawful CPP and substituted a replacement which more accurately conforms to the statutory powers of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The AEA urges all members to support free markets and affordable energy by voting NO on the ACE Rule Congressional Review Act resolution.  Should a vote on this resolution occur, AEA will include it in its American Energy Scorecard.
