WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) released the following statement after the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Michael Regan, accused Colstrip Power Plant of “cheating the system” of destructive green energy standards set by the Biden administration.

“The EPA emissions standards created for Colstrip Power Plant are unrealistic at best,” said Rep. Rosendale. “Furthermore, accusing Colstrip of cheating the system for producing too much mercury while the naturally occurring mercury in the Yellowstone River far exceeds the amount of mercury Colstrip produced is disingenuous. This is just another example of the EPA’s overreach targeting Montana’s businesses, economy, and citizens by creating emissions standards that are out of touch with scientific findings and the real-life impact.”
