Biden Methane Tax Will Add 17% to Average Bills & Will "Escalate"

[IndependentSentinel] The House bill is progressive [regressive really] with an "escalating tax on methane emissions by oil and gas producers," according to a new op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. The tax will hit $1,500 per ton by 2025 and the fee is supposed to be a contribution to recent promises made in Glasgow to curb methane emissions.

The cost of the fee will obviously get passed along to the consumer. It will mean even higher energy prices. The Left wants to make fossil fuels so expensive that only the rich can pay for them. About 180 million Americans use natural gas to heat their homes, the report says.

#1 Methane's a lot more effective greenhouse gas than CO2, so when we capture it and burn it instead of letting it get loose into the atmosphere naturally we are saving the planet... (BTW, one hydrocarbon prospecting tool is to map 'natural' natural gas seeps.)

#3 More stuff for the pubs to promise to eliminate next time they are in charge (I know) and then leave in place anyway.

#4 If the Dems are going to tax methane, are we going to see a surtax on Mexican food?

#10 My home cost for natural gas was $1.88/MCF in July. This month it's $6.35/MCF. That is way over 17%. Let's go, Brandon!
