CLEAN POWER PLAN UNDER FEDERAL LAW, AND THE GOVERNOR, OF COURSE, HAS DELEGATED THAT IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. MR. PRESIDENT, WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO WOULD DIVEST OR PROHIBIT THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY FROM SUBMITTING ANY PLAN AT ALL THAT'S VIRGINIA SPECIFIC, WHICH IS IN OUR INTERESTS STOFR A VIRGINIA SPECIFIC PLAN. AND TO DO SO WOULD BE TO VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW, AND TO DIVEST THE GOVERNOR OF THE AUTHORITY THAT HE'S BEEN DELEGATED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SO MR. PRESIDENT, THIS WOULD UNDERCUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF HAVING A VIRGINIA SPECIFIC PLAN UNDER THE CLEAN POWER -- TO COME UP WITH A CLEAN POWER PLAN UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
