McConnell: Congress' disapproval of EPA 'will soon be very clear'

Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said there won't be any mistaking what Congress thinks about the Environmental Protection Agency when Republicans take control of the upper chamber in January.
The Kentucky Republican, responding to comments Secretary of State John Kerry made at a United Nations climate change conference in Lima, Peru, said the EPA would be in his crosshairs early next session.
"Given the change in management that’s coming to the Senate, overseas audiences may want to proceed with caution when it comes to Secretary Kerry’s recommendations and comments," McConnell warned.
Kerry said that regulations President Obama's EPA is rolling out that would restrict emissions from power plants will play a significant role in slowing the effects of climate change. Speaking of the future of coal-fired power plants, Kerry said the rules will "take a bunch of them out of commission."
