This is an excellent video of Senator Rand Paul addressing the Senate with statistics from the EPA that show old clean air regulations have worked to lower emissions, and that we do not need new regulations that run the risk of further damaging the economy and putting more people out of work.

Edit: Here is the text of the news article posted by Rand Paul's office:

Today, Sen. Rand Paul invoked the privilege of the Congressional Review Act to force the Senate to vote on an unnecessary and overreaching rule from the Environmental Protection Agency. The resolution of disapproval was defeated 41-56.

"The Obama Administration's regulatory power grab is costing Americans - and the EPA's overzealous job-killing approach to environmental protection is too. I am pro-clean air. I am pro-clean water. I am pro-jobs. Repealing this rule would have afforded us all three of those things," Sen. Paul said after the vote.
