ACTION ALERT: Members' voices needed now on EPA threat

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently considering proposals to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The author of the Clean Air Act stated this would result in a “glorious mess” as it was never intended nor designed to regulate these emissions.

It is the responsibility of Congress to determine any climate change legislation, not EPA.

Tell Congress that they need to step in and prevent EPA from using the Clean Air Act as a tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It's the role of Congress to determine greenhouse gas policy that is fair and affordable for all Americans.

Were the EPA to act, the effect could be similar to what would have happened if cap-and-trade had passed — higher electric bills for Missouri consumers.
