Legislation to bar the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases was introduced today by Republicans, who also lined up support from several Democrats in Congress.
Matching bills by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton of Michigan and Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, both Republicans, would bar the EPA from mandating emission limits from factories and power plants, while allowing a previous agreement the Obama administration reached with automakers to cut vehicle tailpipe emissions.
