Biden Imposes Another Energy-Related Tax Before Leaving Office
The Populist Times ^ | 15 November 2024 | Martin Tribe

President Joe Biden has imposed another environment-related tax, less than two months before leaving office. The new tax measure targeting methane emissions from the oil and gas sector was part of the Biden administration’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

It imposes a Waste Emissions Charge of $900 per cubic meter in 2024, which increases to $1,200 in 2025, and $1,500 for 2026 and beyond.

However, certain criteria allow the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to exempt facilities that comply with the Clean Air Act standards for oil and gas operations.

“The agency expects that over time, fewer facilities will face the charge as they reduce their emissions and become eligible for this regulatory compliance exemption,” the EPA stated.

Be sure to leave some oxygen, or you won’t get the effect you’re looking for.

every single order and act passed by Biden and Obama needs to be undone and every single person promoted under them needs to be demoted and kicked out

It’s good to be King.

I look forward to Trump imposing punitive taxes on all media outlets, with certain criteria allowing the FCC to exempt media that comply with Right-wing ideology.

Search for "methane" in H.R.5376 - Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

The Congress did this to us.

EPA is going to have a hard time measuring all those emissions with no teeth.

Let EPA issue their regulations out of an Igloo on the Alaskan tundra.

We need to treat them the way they have been treating average Americans—throw them out in the cold.

C’Mon, Man! Shouldn’t these be federal laws created or changed by Congress then signed by the President.

Good, maybe the price will go down so people living in America can afford them easier.

I wondered about that too. I thought something like a tax had to be in the form of a law. That meeting with Biden & Trump may have looked congenial, but now (or soon) it will be time for Trump to get even with that sneezy Biden & undue everything Biden did or as much as is immediately possible.

We need to reverse this regulatory crap 180 degrees, by somehow legally penalizing, financially, the people that devise and promulgate these nefarious regulations.
