U.S. Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) joined a group of their fellow Senate colleagues this week in demanding that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador halt his coordinated attempts to take over land owned and operated by Alabama-based Vulcan Materials.

The condemnation from the legislators is the result of a decision made last week by the Mexican presidential administration to classify Vulcan’s land and port as a naturally protected area. The change, according to the Senators, would eliminate Vulcan’s rights to the land and ability to operate the port.

Attorney General Marshall and Coalition Ask SCOTUS for Emergency Stay of EPA’s New Rule on Power Plants

(Montgomery, Ala) – Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall joined a coalition of 25 states led by West Virginia and Indiana urging the U.S. Supreme Court to issue an emergency stay on the implementation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recently-released new rule on existing coal-, natural gas- and oil-fired power plants.

The action follows the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit’s refusal last week to block the rule. That rule would force power plants fueled by coal or natural gas to capture smokestack emissions using currently unworkable technologies or shut down. It would regulate those plants under the Clean Air Act by imposing more stringent emissions standards.

“Electricity prices are already high, but the Biden-Harris Administration doesn’t care. Their unelected bureaucrats will regulate traditional sources of electricity out of existence. As the last line of defense, we will not allow radical agencies like the EPA to wield illegal authority over states that will have devastating economic consequences on our great state,” stated Attorney General Marshall.

Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming joined the West Virginia- and Indiana-led application.
