States Split on EPA Climate Regs | Mother Jones

Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate are staging attacks on the Environmental Protection Agency’s finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health in hopes of blocking related regulations from going into effect.
...
The state attorneys general of Alabama, Virginia, and Texas have filed petitions against the finding. The governors of 18 states and two territories have also joined the call for legislation to block the EPA, including Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia. "We feel compelled to guard against a regulatory approach that would increase the cost of electricity and gasoline prices, manufactured products, and ultimately harm the competitiveness of the U.S. economy," they wrote in a letter to congressional leaders from both parties earlier this month. "We strongly urge Congress to stop harmful EPA regulation of greenhouse-gas emissions that could damage those vital interests."

The governors of Mississippi, West Virginia, Alaska, Nebraska, Georgia, Kentucky, Nevada, Rhode Island, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina, Utah, Minnesota, Hawaii, Louisiana, Alabama, Virgina, Arizona, Guam, and Puerto Rico signed on to the letter.
