Lankford Explains Filing of Briefing Fighting EPA’s Clean Power Plan







Yes, it is about federal overreach. It’s what U.S. Senator James Lankford tells OK Energy Today as he and all members of the Oklahoma Congressional delegation joined others in the House and Senate in supporting the legal fight by Oklahoma and dozens of other states to the Clean Power Plan laid out by the Environmental Protection Agency.

As OK Energy Today reported earlier this week, more than 200 members of the House and Senate signed a friend of the court brief in support of the states and groups that filed a challenge to the EPA. The case is being heard in the D.C. Court of Appeals but as Lankford explained, the new makeup of the U.S. Supreme court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia will also play a role.
