Attorney General Wilson Leads Bi-Partisan Group of 21 AGs in Calling on EPA to Defer Climate Control Regulations

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson sent the following letter today to EPA

Administrator Lisa Jackson on behalf of a group of twenty-one (21) bi-partisan Attorneys General from

across the country. The letter calls on the EPA to defer rapid implementation of its greenhouse gas

regulatory program so that Congress can evaluate the need and timing of such regulations.

The immediate consequences of these regulations include a construction ban on a multitude of buildings

including some houses of worship, hospitals, hotels, and retail stores and contain other “absurd results,”

as characterized by the EPA.

Wilson and twenty-one (21) fellow Attorneys General are asking that the EPA to delay this regulatory

scheme until Congress has the full opportunity to determine the best course for our nation to take.

Read Letter to EPA.

The letter is signed by the following twenty-one (21) Attorneys General: Alan Wilson (SC), Luther

Strange (AL), John Burns (AK), Dustin McDainel (AR), Tom Horne (AZ), Pam Bondi (FL), Sam Olens

(GA), Leonardo Rapadas (GU), Derek Schmidt (KS), Buddy Caldwell (LA), Bill Schuette (MI), John

Bruning (NE), Wayne Stenehjem (ND), Mike DeWine (OH), Scott Pruitt (OK), William Ryan (PA),
