California Gov. Jerry Brown said Sunday that it is a "disgrace" that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is trying to thwart the Obama administration's plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, urged all 50 state governors in a letter Thursday to reject the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to reduce emissions from existing power plants by 30 percent by 2030.
The EPAs plan, according to McConnell, would heavily penalize the coal industry. Its economic impact in his home state would be devastating, he said, and thousands of jobs could be on the line.
To have the leader of the Senate ... putting at risk the health and well-being of America is a disgrace, Brown, a Democrat, said on NBCs Meet the Press.
