t's start with gina mccarthy, my gosh, she just jumped into that floebl changlobal change t.idn't she mean global warming? >> i think she obviously mean that our climate is in peril and coal plants put out 30% of the climate pollution, so let's do something about it. >> all right. and what percent of the total global pollution do those coal plants account for? >> a much smalr fraction, but let's be clear, somebody's got to lead, lou. >> yes. i would say that that's true. steve, wouldn't you agree, somebody's got to lead? >> no, sir. epa admitted in today's proposal that there is no global warming going on. as a matter of fact, it may take hundreds of years to see anything. and that's just hypothesis. >> wait, what are you talking about, steve? >> they're going to do nothing but raise electricity rates. it's going to hurt electricity reliability. it has nothing to do with the environment, the climate or public health. this is pure political hardball by the obama administration. >> listen, i think steve has a reputation for saying about anything for a buck, so we'll just take t

i think was interesting when the president and director of the epa, gina mccarthy, when they made their announcements monday both said electricity rates will drop. well, you know, i have not seen any proof, any science that would say that. i believe the president from 2008, electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket. >> watch the entire interview with senator brasso when newsmakers airs tomorrow at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. eastern, here on c-span. >> the reason we are trying to focus on the speaker is because it is the speaker, with the full majesty and weight of his position, who yesterday made certain allegations which at this point, at least, he has not yet answered. i will yield. you don't normally have that in the 26 hours you have presented this case to the public. the interesting fact is the moral tenure of your remarks, -- the moral tenor of your remarks, going back to 1972, taken out of context about you were there for one purpose alone, in my opinion, and that was to imply that members of the side were not american in their activity. you stop, you wavered. when you respond, you kn

making the announcement today, gina mccarthy said climate action is a moral imperative and it is urgent. >> this is not just about disappearing and melting ice caps. this is about protecting and it is about protecting our homes. >> but if you ask house speaker john boehner, it is insane. that's his official assessment. the president's plan is nuts. there's really no more su succinct way to describe it. mitch mcdonnell said it was a dagger through the heart of the american middle class. a dagger through the heart. it is enough to make you long for the days of drill, baby, drill and the time when republicans, like sarah palin, took a downright reasonable approach to the climate. >> i just want to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions? >> i do, i do. >> she did! but, boy, her party certainly doesn't anymore. joining me now is white house council john podesta. john, is this basically the pitch and tenor of the response that you expected from republicans on this? >> well, you know, i think it's a silly response and i think that this rule is flexible. states can implement it accord

rollout of the proposal to reduce carbon pollution from power plants across the united states, which gina mccarthy announced on monday. i raise that because one of my principal duties now at the white house is to coordinate our activity on climate change and energy, and put this in a little bit of context. power plants are accounting for about 40% of the co2 pollution in the u.s., 1/3 of the overall greenhouse gas emissions. it is the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the united states. it is important to reduce the level of pollution. the president began to discuss this proposal when he went to children's hospital to tape his weekly address a week ago today, which aired last saturday. the reason he did that is because there are huge public health benefits that will attend and come from this rule. more than 130,000 asthma attacks amongst children avoided, 2800 heart attacks avoided, 2700 to 6600 premature deaths, visits to hospital emergency rooms, lost workdays. today we will release a report that links the effects of climate change to public health. many of the benefits that i just d

president, just this last fall, environmental protection agency administrator gina mccarthy embarked upon a national listening tour to gather feedback on possible new energy regulations through the environmental protection agency's regulatory power. notably absent for her tour across the nation to hear from those in terms of what their reactions would be relative to proposed rules regulating the use of certain energy sources, that listening tour surprisingly didn't stop at any of the major coal producing production or user states. now, my state was notably absent from that despite our request that she listen to what hoosiers have to say about their source of energy and what it does for their economy, how it helps attract jobs to our state and how it helps our residents to keep utility bills in line. and so we were very disappointed that we were not included in that listening tour. as other states surprisingly -- maybe not surprisingly -- who were also coal producing energy states were also bypassed. apparently they didn't want to hear from us. i think on monday we found out just exac

the epa administrator gina mccarthy summed up the views of this administration when she testified before the subcommittee saying that epa does not measure whether it's regulations in the tens of billions of dollars spent by the administration will actually affect future climate change. it is simply part of an overall strategy to demonstrate the president's global leadership. so, these actions appear to be about removing coal as an energy source in america and promoting president obama's leadership perception in the international community. nothing on the president's unwillingness to listen to the american people this proposal raises serious policy and legal questions. epa has never been this extreme under 111 the map before. instead of the states establishing a performance standard for units within the source category epa is not dictating to the states the level of protections that each state must make so statewide rather than individual units. in essence they are requiring the states to alter the way in which electricity utility systems make power. in and our experience with oversight o

as most of you are aware this past monday epa administrator gina mccarthy and president obama released new regulations for carbon emissions from existing power plants as part of the president's climate action plan. while the president's efforts to kill coal-fired generation are obvious and already underway i'm really concerned about another and somewhat more subversive and undercover effort to really cripple the nuclear industry which is ongoing. when the verse to announce the climate action plan the president notoriously stated that he supports in and all-of-the-above approach. i think the disingenuous nature of this claim requires only a cursory review of recent actions by the administration including on the nuclear side. for the nuclear sector the work done to undermine the waste confidence rule and to kill the yucca mountain project is a clear example of a long-term strategy to shut down all of our and nations nuclear power. another example is the recent 316v rule for cool water intake systems. although the epa's rule this time around they not look like f. is a critical impact many

epa administrator jane a mccarthy -- gina mccarthy announced new rules to regulate carbon emissions fromsting power plants. effectould have little on the climate, but the rules would have a negative effect on the livelihood of all energy users, including farmers, forrester's, and fishermen, who are the focus of today's hearing. farmers who irrigate their crops by pump would face higher utility bills. forester's would pay more timber, building materials, and paper, products essential to our economy. these economies already faced challenges in a difficult economic environment, but at what cost are we going to hurt these economic heirs in the pursuit of aggressive, dubious climate regulations? the costs are sure to go up. the benefits are not. the farmers are in the most likely to be affect it by altering weather patterns. in a peer-reviewed study that examined car producer impressions of climate change, researchers found little belief among farmers that climate change will have a negative effect on crop yields. soybean yields in mississippi are at record high levels. farmers have been mana

is my understanding the attorney general of west virginia patrick morrissey wrote a letter to gina mccarthy on june 6, 2014 regarding these new rules. in their understanding epa agrees in its technical documents filed with this proposal that under the plain reading of the statutory language in section 111t found in the u.s. code epa has no one legal authority to regulate co2 emissions from power plants under section section 111t. in particular the u.s. code provides the epa is regulating a source under section 112 of the clean air act the epa cannot also establish standards under section 111t. is that true that in 2012 epa started regulating power plants under section 100 1200's mercury and air toxic rule black csr no black. >> we did issue a regulation under section 112. >> any the plain reading of the less code in the legislation reported from this committee and the provisions of law enacted by the house and senate this decision to regulate under 112 for close the agency's ability to regulate greenhouse gases under section 111. is that correct? >> that is not correct. >> you base that on
