WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman August Pfluger’s Congressional Review Act to reverse former President Joe Biden’s natural gas tax passed through the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, Feb. 26.
The natural gas tax would have hurt energy producers in the Permian Basin by stifling production, innovation and capital investment, according to Pfluger.
“In November, the American people overwhelmingly voted for lower energy prices, and today, House Republicans took another step towards fulfilling that mandate,” Pfluger said. “In the latest effort to reverse Biden's disastrous energy policies, the House passed my bill to nullify the EPA’s rule implementing the ill-conceived natural gas tax.
"This tax raises costs on production, discourages investment, and increases energy prices across America. I am looking forward to working toward a full repeal of the underlying statute and continuing to implement President Trump’s pro-energy agenda.”
Pfluger penned an op-ed in the Daily Caller explaining what exactly this tax is and how his CRA is the first step toward eliminating the natural gas tax once and for all.
