Promoting the “At the Crossroads: Energy and Climate Summit,” co-sponsored by the Texas Public Policy Foundation and the Heritage Foundation, Domenech said:15Doug Domenech. “Climate change: Speaking truth to power,” The Hill, December 13, 2016. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/Ge0l6
“Speaking truth to power, these experts had a common message in response to the age-old questions: Is climate change real? Yes, it has happened in the past and will happen in the future. Is man making an impact on the climate? Perhaps but in very small ways. But the overarching consensus remains the climate change we are experiencing is by no means catastrophic.”
Speaking of the climate change deniers at the conference such as Richard Lindzen, Willie Soon, Will Happer, Craig Idso, David Legates, and others, Domenech said “I would say, thank you for your service.”16Doug Domenech. “Climate change: Speaking truth to power,” The Hill, December 13, 2016.

“On Earth Day, The Heritage Foundation published, ‘The State of Climate Science: No Justification for Extreme Policies.’ The report reviews much of what climate apologists insist is true including the myth that 97 percent of all climate scientists agree on global warming.

Other claims Domenech make include:
“[T]he final rule threatens the electric power grid.”77“Obama Wasn’t Kidding About Wanting To Spike Your Electricity Bill,” The Federalist, August 4, 2015. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/8Xsde
“Even if you believe carbon is a pollutant, the final rule still does nothing to address climate change […]”78“Obama Wasn’t Kidding About Wanting To Spike Your Electricity Bill,” The Federalist, August 4, 2015. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/8Xsde
Domenech concludes that Governors should rebel by refusing to submit state plans:
“What should states do?
“Governors should continue to oppose the rule by refusing to submit a state plan. Three courageous governors have already said publicly that they will not submit a plan.
“State legislatures should also oppose the rule by passing legislation to protect consumers, businesses, and low-income Americans, and by restricting state agencies from submitting a state plan until the courts have ruled it legal. Almost 30 states filed negative comments on the proposed rule.
“Congress should continue its efforts to restrict funding for the plan, passing legislation protecting ratepayers, and allowing governors to have the flexibility to reject the plan if it raises electricity rates.”79“Obama Wasn’t Kidding About Wanting To Spike Your Electricity Bill,” The Federalist, August 4, 2015.

In a TPPF press release, Domenech urged states not comply with the EPA’s Clean Power Plan:80Kathleen Hartnett-White, Robert Henneke, and Doug Domenech. “TPPF: CLEAN POWER PLAN FINAL RULE SEIZES SWEEPING POWER OVER ELECTRICITY,” Texas Public Policy Foundation, August 3, 2015. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/Q3DWG
“This latest rule does nothing for the environment, costs billions to implement, and hurts people and businesses by increasing the cost of electricity for everyone,” said Domenech. “It is critical that states not comply with this unconstitutional rule. Economic vitality is at stake, jobs are at stake, and low income Americans will disproportionately suffer its consequences.”81Kathleen Hartnett-White, Robert Henneke, and Doug Domenech. “TPPF: CLEAN POWER PLAN FINAL RULE SEIZES SWEEPING POWER OVER ELECTRICITY,” Texas Public Policy Foundation, August 3, 2015.

Doug Domenech criticized the Clean Power Plan (CPP) in the Washington Examiner:82Doug Domenech. “What’s next for the EPA’s ‘all pain, no gain’ Clean Power Plan?” Washington Examiner, July 12, 2015. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/0hlMc
“The EPA’s so-called Clean Power Plan is an illegal takeover of the electric power production sector and amounts to a national energy tax on all Americans,” he wrote. “The administration’s goal is to force states to replace their current mix of low cost, reliable energy fuels with a higher cost mix of renewables that are largely dependent on the weather.”83Doug Domenech. “What’s next for the EPA’s ‘all pain, no gain’ Clean Power Plan?” Washington Examiner, July 12, 2015. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/0hlMc
He said that states should work together to oppose the clean power plan by joining an Interstate Power Compact (IPC).84Doug Domenech. “What’s next for the EPA’s ‘all pain, no gain’ Clean Power Plan?” Washington Examiner, July 12, 2015.

“The EPA is an overreaching federal agency unbounded by public opinion or congressional oversight that acts recklessly on secret science.

Doug Domenech issued a statement on behalf of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, commending Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin for not filing a State Implementation Plan (SIP) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):86“TPPF Statement on Oklahoma Stand Against EPA Overreach,” Fueling Freedom. Archived February 25, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/ekGJo
“Oklahoma recognizes the EPA’s Clean Power Plan edict for what it is: a power grab,” Domenech wrote. “The overreach by this federal agency is an attempt to take control over power generation in the states in such a way that would dramatically increase costs on individuals and businesses alike while harming jobs and states’ economies. I applaud Governor Fallin for taking such a strong stand against this seriously flawed and unconstitutional EPA regulation. State – all states – should count the cost of complying in terms of higher electricity rates on all families – rich and poor – and all businesses – large and small.”87“TPPF Statement on Oklahoma Stand Against EPA Overreach,” Fueling Freedom.
