AFP VP for Policy Phi Kerpen released the following statement in response to EPA’s recent delay of the boiler MACT rules:
“The Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to delay the implementation of the boiler MACT rules is a tacit admission that the rule will have a profound negative impact on the economy. Although the EPA attempted to shroud their delay in the cloak of needing “additional opportunities for public input,” the public has clearly spoken on this issue.
“The boiler MACT rules are so unachievable that even the EPA had to be dragged kicking and screaming by environmental pressure groups and a federal district court judge to publish the rules. There are currently thousands of industrial boilers that will need to retrofitted or replaced in order to comply with this rule. The rule would destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs for no noticeable environmental benefit.
“It’s time for Congress to step in and state once and for all that boiler MACT is dead, and go further to stop the rest of the EPA’s job-crushing attack on American businesses and consumers.”
