The president’s plan would indeed cause a surge in electricity bills – costs stand to go up $17 billion every year. But it would also shut down plants and potentially put an average of 224,000 more people out of work every year.

That’s why the House has already passed legislation that would prevent these rules from taking effect without congressional approval. Senate Democrats concerned about “pocketbook issues” should take it up immediately.
