House Republicans just moved to gut the Clean Air Act.
In the Energy and Commerce Committee this week, they pushed forward bills that would weaken the law that protects the air we breathe. The Clean Air Act has saved lives, reduced asthma, and forced polluters to clean up their acts. Now Republicans are trying to tear it apart.
One of the Republican bills would let giant polluters skip key Clean Air Act requirements when applying for permits. That does not solve anything. It just makes it easier for giant polluters harming our environment to dodge responsibility.
Our SEEC Members are pushing back. SEEC Co-Chair Rep. Paul Tonko (NY-20), the top Democrat on the Environment Subcommittee, is calling out these attacks. He knows the Clean Air Act is one of the most important public health laws we have, and gutting it will put families, seniors, and children in danger.
