mr. hoeven: in april the environmental protection agency finalized four new regulations specifically targetingur power plants. certainly the coal-fired power plants in my state of north dakota including an expensive, unachievable new mercury and air toxic standard or mats rule. despite the epa's own regulatory analysis their own regulatory analysis stating that the previous rule was adequately protecting public health. the clean power plant 2.0, so-called clean power plant 2.0 requiring existing coal-fired and new gas-fired plants to reduce co2 emixes by 90 -- emissions by 90%, 90% when it's not yet viable. they can't do it. it puts them out of business meaning less base load electricity. they put forth a new coal ash management rule and water discharge rule imposing costly unachievable requirements on power generators all time when we need more electricity. now, the biden administration's regulatory blizzard comes at a time when the north american electric reliability corporation or next -- nerc continues to raise concerns about elevated risks of blackouts and brownouts. the presiding officer
