WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) issued the following statement regarding the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final rule to implement a natural gas tax against American energy producers:

Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11): “President Biden’s promise to end fossil fuels hurt the hardworking energy producers of my district, who have worked diligently to increase production while reducing emissions. The Biden-Harris EPA’s ‘natural gas tax’ will drive up costs for all Americans, jeopardize our energy security, and increase emissions. I have fought the natural gas tax since its inception, and I look forward to its repeal under President Trump.”
