Palmer Energy Bill Passes House

Statement

“I appreciate the support of my colleagues in passing the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act. This is a major step towards securing American energy and reducing energy costs. This is a win for the American people. The Democrats’ misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allowed the EPA to use $27 billion to create a ‘Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.’ This is nothing more than a slush fund that does nothing to aid the environment. Instead, it funds special interest groups, climate activists, and political allies that make no impact on the climate. This bill eliminates $27 billion of waste and shifts the focus to where it should be, affordable and reliable American energy.

In order to help the American people and lower energy costs, we should be focusing on expanding access to natural gas. Unfortunately, the Democrats’ IRA also implemented a tax on natural gas. This tax has made energy less affordable and less reliable for Americans already struggling under the weight of inflation. I’m glad Rep. August Pfluger’s hard work to repeal this detrimental natural gas tax is included in this legislation.

I urge the Senate to pass this important legislation immediately to help give relief to American families struggling to make ends meet.”
