Last week, U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) alongside U.S. Representative August Pfluger (R-TX-11) introduced companion bills to repeal the Waste Emission Charge of the Methane Emissions Reduction Program, a critical program created by the Inflation Reduction Act that will help protect our families and communities from harmful oil and gas pollution. The charge is a commonsense measure to cut excessive methane emissions from corporations that are the largest polluters, secure American energy, and create jobs.
