South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, joined a bipartisan group of colleagues in introducing legislation that will be the principal legislative vehicle in the Senate to rollback President Obama’s “Clean Power Plan.”
Rounds says the plan would close a major power plant in the state.

Rounds says the state doesn’t have many power options.

Rounds says the legislation would give states much-needed flexibility and additional time to comply with this proposal and protect taxpayers from paying the burden through higher electric bills.

A group of six senators, joined Rounds at a news conference this week to unveil The Affordable Reliable Energy Now Act (ARENA).
