A Republican-led House panel approved a measure today that would block U.S. Environmental Protection Agency greenhouse-gas rules and reject the agency’s finding that carbon-dioxide emissions endanger the public.

The House Subcommittee on Energy and Power approved the legislation, which will be sent to the full House Energy and Commerce Committee, by voice vote. A similar bill in the Senate hasn’t been taken up yet.
