OH HCR29

Expresses opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan adopted on August 3, 2015, which requires Ohio to reduce coal use to meet federal carbon dioxide emission limits from electricity generation.

Asserts that Ohio's coal power plant fleet represents billions of dollars in public and private investments and is essential for providing reliable, abundant, and low-cost electricity to support Ohio's economy and manufacturing industry.

States that the Clean Power Plan conflicts with Ohio's "all fuels" energy policy approach that relies on coal, natural gas, hydroelectric, and renewable energy sources as established by the Ohio General Assembly.

Declares that the EPA lacks legal authority under federal law and the U.S. Constitution, including the Tenth Amendment, to establish Ohio's energy policy.

Directs the House Clerk to transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, EPA Administrator, Ohio's Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media.
