Ending the Natural Gas Tax
This past week, my Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reverse former President Biden's ill-conceived natural gas tax passed through the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and it is now on its way to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. I have fought this tax since its inception and am thrilled that Congress took immediate action this week to eliminate the natural gas tax once and for all.
This harmful tax hurts energy producers in the Permian Basin and American energy producers across the country by raising costs on production, discouraging investment, and increasing energy prices across America. In November, the American people overwhelmingly voted for lower energy prices, and passing my CRA this week was another step toward fulfilling that mandate.
I also penned an op-ed in the Daily Caller detailing exactly what this tax is and how my CRA is the first step in ending the natural gas tax. You can read the op-ed here.
