Scott WalkerThe AP reported Thursday that presidential hopeful Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) told President Obama in a letter that his Clean Power Plan is simply "unworkable" and "riddled with inaccuracies." The letter, obtained by the AP and dated May 21, said Wisconsin would not comply with the president's plan without "significant and meaningful changes." The Clean Power Plan is designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that the EPA says is responsible for climate change. A defiant Walker wrote that the proposed rule for coal-fired power plants made "questionable assumptions," making it untenable for his state. He also wrote that adherence to the new rules would cost Wisconsin nearly $13.4 billion, raise electricity rates by 29 percent, and that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had overstated its authority by "attempting to regulate the entire electric generating system."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_walker.jpg
