Indiana threatens to ignore power plant emissions rule
The state of Indiana is threatening mutiny over the Obama administration’s rule requiring states to reduce their power plant emissions to a rate determined by the EPA. Indiana would be required to lower emissions by 20 percent. Under the regulation, the EPA will write and enforce rules for states who fail to submit them.
In a letter sent to President Obama this week, Gov. Mike Pence (R) said that unless significant changes are made in the regulation, Indiana will not comply with it.
