2016 AR Senate race: on Environment


Curtis Coleman: EPA poses a serious threat to property rights

The EPA is out of control, and poses a serious threat to property rights. I will work tirelessly to rein in this agency, and find smarter, less intrusive ways to preserve our beautiful State and Nation.

John Boozman: EPA regulations make dirtier climate abroad & no gain in US

Boozman said the effects of the EPA regulation extend to the national and even international level. He said if the US stops burning coal, countries like China and India say they will still continue to burn it. "They burn it without the protections we have," Boozman said. "So if we go along with the EPA, it's all pain and no gain on the part of the US. You'll actually have a dirtier climate as a result of these other countries burning our coal."

On a national level, Boozman is pushing back against the EPA's mandates: he recently co-sponsored the Affordable Reliable Energy Now Act. He said Congress overwhelmingly opposes the EPA's proposed regulations. During the EPA's public comment period regarding the carbon dioxide emissions mandate, Boozman said, the public expressed its strong negativity toward the ruling. Congress is currently poised to enact more legislation once the EPA implements its ruling, Boozman said: "We're pulling out all the tools in our toolbox to protect rate payers and jobs."
