Topeka ? The House Energy and Utilities Committee has introduced a resolution “opposing the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory train wreck.”

House Resolution 6008 criticizes President Barack Obama’s administration’s efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and recommends that Congress prohibit EPA “by any means necessary” from regulating greenhouse gas.

It recommends a two-year moratorium on new air-quality regulations, except those that directly address imminent health and environmental emergencies. The resolution proposes that funding be pulled from EPA’s air quality regulatory activities.

It says EPA’s regulations are driving jobs and industry from the United States. In addition, the resolution urges the administration to conduct a study that provides a cost-benefit analysis of EPA’s current and planned regulations.

EPA has said its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions represent a “common-sense” approach that follows both the law and science on climate change.

If approved, the resolution would be sent to Congress.
