Republicans unveil effort to reverse Biden climate rules targeting manufacturing

House Republicans are introducing legislation to reform how the federal government regulates air quality in response to recent Biden administration rules.

Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"Let's make sure we understand and set the groundwork that the Clean Air Act was not established to kill American productivity and prosperity," Carter told Fox News Digital in an interview. "That's not why we we have the Clean Air Act. It was instead — the reason for it was to help enhance our success."

"The Biden administration didn't need to do this, but they have tried to update the next national ambient air quality standards," he continued. "If they go through with what they're trying to go through with, then it's going to slam the brakes on any economic prosperity we may enjoy in this country."
