Supreme Court Ruling to Stay the Clean Power Plan


“I am disappointed that the Supreme Court stayed the Clean Power Plan, but of course respect that the legality of the rule will ultimately be decided in the courts. Though the Clean Power Plan has been stayed, the nation’s transition to cleaner energy has not. I will continue to work with state and federal colleagues to ensure that energy markets and infrastructure adapt to sustain reliability and affordability during this transition.”
