Washington D.C– In response to the House Energy and Commerce Committee markup of Congressional Review Act resolutions of disapproval on EPA’s cleaner trucks rule, power plant carbon pollution limits, and soot or particle pollution limits, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the following statement from Vice President of Federal Policy Matthew Davis:

“The Biden-Harris administration has made great progress toward delivering a more sustainable, healthy, clean energy future for coming generations. With committee votes like the three we saw today, extreme MAGA Republicans are again attempting to undermine environmental protections that are helping deliver cleaner air and a safer climate for our families by rolling back standards for polluting trucks and power plants, and limits for soot, a health-harming pollutant. Instead of doing their job to keep open the federal government and protect communities, extreme MAGA Republicans are using their limited time to advance their Project 2025 agenda and the wishes of their fossil-fueled donors. We continue to urge members of Congress to vote no on these unpopular, extremist rollbacks of protections for our communities, environment, and climate.”
