Repealing the Natural Gas Tax: Eliminating Methane Emission Fees.
This law cancels the federal fee imposed on oil and gas companies for methane emissions, which was part of a pollution reduction incentive program. This change removes a cost burden from energy producers, potentially influencing consumer energy prices. However, it also eliminates a key federal tool for controlling harmful methane emissions, which may impact environmental goals.
Key points
Abolishes the federal fee (tax) on methane emissions for companies involved in natural gas and petroleum systems.
Removes the incentive program aimed at reducing methane waste, potentially affecting environmental protection goals.
Rescinds any unused government funds previously allocated to this methane reduction program.
