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.

The Congress did this to us.
when did brandon get the authority to levy taxes?
EPA is going to have a hard time measuring all those emissions with no teeth.
It was voted for in congress (Inflation reduction act), The turnip is just implementing it.
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.

There,fixed it
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.
