McCarthy, who is in Paris hammering out a treaty to limit carbon dioxide emissions, spoke with the Associated Press (AP), and reiterated Obama's Clean Power Plan is alive, well, and lawsuit-proof. She said regardless of attempts by Republicans and other entities fighting to block the plan won't make a bit of difference as the EPA has a "track record of winning these lawsuits and will win again." She must have missed the Supreme Court ruling telling the EPA to redo its overly strict regulations. She also told the AP that "it's going to be the law of the land and it's going to last." Other states and some groups are suing the EPA over the Clean Power Plan, which even McCarthy admitted in Congressional testimony would not avert temperatures from rising and was largely a symbolic gesture ahead of the Paris Climate Talks.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_gina_hill.jpg
