Top Republicans raise alarm on Biden's power plant regs: 'Growing risks to electric reliability'

High-ranking Senate Republicans are calling for the nation's top energy regulator to immediately assess the impact President Biden's crackdown on fossil fuel power plants will have on electric grid reliability.

The two Republicans — Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Environment and Public Works Committee Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. — penned a letter Wednesday to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) four members. They expressed concern that Biden's power plant regulations would exacerbate grid reliability issues.
