Marco Rubio Will Cripple The Regulatory Power Of All Federal Agencies

At his first major speech on energy policy at BOC Water Hydraulics in Salem, Ohio, where he spent considerable time criticizing the Environmental Protection Agency. if elected, 
----------
He will immediately stop the Clean Power Plan, a set of carbon pollution standards for existing power plants issued by the EPA
----------
He would simplify the permitting process for oil and gas pipelines.
----------
The EPA isn’t the only federal environmental agency that Rubio aspires to bring down in size and scope. The Florida senator mentioned that there are at least 10 agencies that regulate the energy industry, which he says are way too many. That’s why he’d attempt to “cripple” the regulatory power of all federal agencies.

"Marco Rubio’s plan promises to protect big oil and the Koch brothers, instead of growing clean energy and protecting the environment.” Jessica Mackler
