A new set of regulations on energy generation proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency will likely be challenged in court but should survive the challenge.
That’s the opinion of a former Michigan lawmaker who now works for an energy related advocacy group.
Former state representative Dan Scripps, now the president of the Institute for Energy Innovation, says he believes the EPA’s Clean Power Plan is has legal standing.

Scripps says the proposed Clean Power Plan, which will be released sometime Monday, is meant to do just that.
