States Ignoring Mitch McConnell, Working On Clean Power Plan: EPA

Last month Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urged states to ignore the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, but the states are ignoring McConnell, EPA Admninistrator Gina McCarthy said Friday at the University of Chicago. Even states that are suing the EPA are preparing carbon-reduction plans, another official said, to meet their obligations under EPA's proposed rule, which McCarthy predicted will not only be implemented, but will surpass its stated goals.
