On April 9, 2013 CURC sent a letter of thanks to Senators Landrieu (D-LA) , Manchin (D-WV), Heitkamp (D-ND), and Donnelly (D-IN). Those senators sent a letter (enclosed) to President Obama on March 14, 2013, urging that he consider an alternative approach to the regulation of greenhouse gases from new fossil-fuel fired power generation facilities. CURC submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency in June, 2012 setting forth a set of concerns and proposed solutions that are similar to those described in the senators’ letter.
