Biden's EPA Again Threatening the Permian Basin

This week I spoke with the Biden Administration’s Environmental and Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 Administrator, Dr. Earthea Nance.

After speaking with Dr. Nance, I have reason to believe that the EPA fully intends to issue a discretionary ozone nonattainment redesignation for the Permian Basin, which would dramatically hamper production in our region.

I pushed back on any possible designation and urged the Administrator to finally visit the Permian Basin to understand the impact such action would have on our economy and national security. Dr. Nance must talk to the producers and families who have been in the industry for generations and have worked diligently to reduce pollution without the heavy hand of the federal government.

I will continue fighting against this possible redesignation and any further attacks from the Biden Administration against our energy industry and way of life.
