Miller, a supporter of clean energy policies reducing greenhouse gases as a way to battle global climate change, said Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2019, he was blocked by Republican Gov.
Miller's spokesman Lynn Hicks said Miller was asked by the other states to join the case but couldn't when Reynolds didn't give consent. White House spokesman Judd Deere said Trump's plan responsibly protects clean air, reduces greenhouse gases, protects jobs, and keeps costs affordable. He called Obama's rule burdensome and unlawful and said it would have raised energy costs for consumers.Story continues"The rule fails to promote clean energy, but instead incentivizes the use of coal-fired power generation," he said, adding it would do nothing to address climate change harms caused by carbon pollution.
"Wind energy industry in Iowa saved 4.8 billion gallons of water, equivalent to 37 billion plastic water bottles, and avoided 8.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to 1.9 million cars' worth of emissions, all in 2018 alone," Reynolds said.
