The US Clean Power Plan, introduced by President Obama in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is facing repeal. In a letter sent on Monday to the White House, Republican House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton of Michigan said he was "concerned that this proposed rule will undermine our efforts to address climate change. " The EPA has yet to decide whether to replace the plan with alternative emissions regulations. He argued the plan was bureaucratic overreach. " Under the previous administration, the EPA claimed that the Clean Power Plan would reduce premature deaths by between 2,700 and 6,600, while reducing the number of childhood asthma attacks by 140,000 to 150,000.
