(WASHINGTON, DC) — Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak says the Biden administration’s costly new methane emissions tax on petroleum and natural gas producers ‘will punish small and mid-size independent producers who are responsible for 90 percent of America’s natural gas.’
That’s why she voted in support of H.J. Resolution 35, which overturns the emissions tax. The rule would impose a “waste emissions charge” that disproportionately harms North Dakota’s energy producers, raises costs, and threatens America’s energy independence. North Dakota officials estimated that a similar rule would cost the state approximately $38 million annually in lost revenue from reduced royalties and oil and gas taxes.
The resolution passed the House 220-206.
