WASHINGTON DC (11/12/24) – The Biden-Harris administration is poised to finalize a new methane emissions tax for U.S. oil and gas producers today.

New Mexico plays a vital role in American energy production, providing a substantial amount of oil and gas from a comparatively smaller population than its neighbor, the number one oil-producing state, Texas.  Accounting for an astounding 13.3% of all U.S. crude oil production in 2022, and increasing to an even 14% in 2023, due to further innovation in fracking, New Mexico consistently plays a key role in American oil and gas production holding about 13% of proved crude oil reserves in the...

Despite Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 election and his campaign slogan “drill, baby, drill,” the Biden-Harris administration quickly acted to limit the scope of an oil-and-gas lease sale in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), which had been mandated under Trump’s leadership. In 2017, Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which required at least two lease sales in ANWR’s 1.6 million-acre coastal plain by the end of 2024. The first of these lease sales  took...

California has the highest gasoline prices and one of the highest residential electricity prices in the nation due to its climate and energy policies. However, rather than own up to the real causes, California Governor Newsom is looking to camouflage the reality of his state’s policies, at least in the short term.

With an already unapologetic track record of anti-fossil fuel rhetoric, having blatantly said and famously backtracked on the idea that the United States should ban hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” the American people should expect that any energy policies from a Harris presidency would result in higher energy prices across the board and a suicidal effort to eliminate fossil fuels - society’s most reliable and affordable energy resource.
