House votes to kill EPA climate regulations

politico.com (USA)
"House lawmakers sent a loud message to the White House on Thursday: They want to obliterate the Obama administration’s climate rules.

The chamber voted 255-172, primarily along party lines, to nullify the EPA’s greenhouse gas regulations and the scientific finding they’re based on. No Republicans opposed the bill, but 19 Democrats broke ranks with their party to support the measure.
The resounding vote knocking down greenhouse gas regulations is far from surprising. House Republicans have made upending climate rules a top energy priority since they took over the majority, and EPA’s defenders in the chamber couldn’t do much to stand in their way."
