HR94 Summary

• Urges the EPA to analyze and share the combined potential impact of all future regulations on coal-fired power plants with all states before implementing individual regulations.

• Coal-fired power plants generated 50 percent of U.S. electricity in 2005 but only 33 percent in 2015, with projections showing only 18 percent by 2040.

• Expresses concern that future EPA regulations on air quality, interstate pollution transport, regional haze, coal combustion residuals, and effluent guidelines could further reduce coal usage, increase electricity prices, and harm coal-dependent states.

• Calls on Congress to mandate EPA analysis of combined regulatory impacts on the electricity sector, jobs, energy prices, and individual states if EPA fails to conduct such analysis independently.

• Directs that copies of this resolution be sent to Alabama's Congressional Delegation.
