class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Biden administration proposed a new regulation Friday that would impose fines on oil and gas companies for methane emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy would require companies to pay a penalty of $900 per every ton of methane emitted beyond limits established by the government starting this year, with the cost for each ton above the government\u2019s thresholds increasing to $1,200 in 2025 and jumping to $1,500 in 2026 and beyond,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/newsreleases\/biden-harris-administration-announces-proposed-rule-reduce-wasteful-methane-emissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a>\u00a0to the EPA. While the agency touts the proposal as a tool to reduce methane emissions, energy producers have slammed it for adding complexity to the regulatory environment and potentially driving up energy costs for consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday\u2019s proposal, when finalized, will support a complementary set of technology standards and historic resources from the Inflation Reduction Act, to incentivize industry innovation and prompt action,\u201d Michael Regan, the EPA\u2019s administrator, said of the proposal. \u201cWe are laser-focused on working collectively with companies, states and communities to ensure that America leads in deploying technologies and innovations that aid in the development of a clean energy economy.\u201d\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2024\/01\/08\/biden-admin-2024-billion-new-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(RELATED: Biden Admin Kicks Off 2024 By Unleashing $1 Billion Worth Of New Regulations)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2018Outrageous\u2019: EPA Agents Are Flying Helicopters Over Texas Oil Fields To Crack Down On Methane Emissions From Drilling<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vg5JmFJ7jP\">https:\/\/t.co\/vg5JmFJ7jP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DailyCaller\/status\/1556992467974721536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal would become the first direct federal tax on emissions in the U.S. if it is finalized and implemented as planned,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/12\/climate\/methane-biden-oil-gas-fee.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a>\u00a0to The New York Times. Congress approved the policy in the Inflation Reduction Act, President Joe Biden\u2019s signature climate bill, which also contains $1 billion in grants and subsidies intended to improve methane leak detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EPA estimates that methane drives one third of the warming occurring today and identifies the energy sector as the most significant industrial source of methane emissions in the country, according to its announcement.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/stories\/natural-gas-101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Environmentalists<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/fighting-climate-chaos\/issues\/natural-gas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">malign<\/a>&nbsp;natural gas production in particular as a source of methane emissions, but natural gas burns more cleanly in comparison to other fossil fuels, such as coal,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/energyexplained\/natural-gas\/natural-gas-and-the-environment.php#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20Environmental%20Protection%20Agency,total%20U.S.%20greenhouse%20gas%20emissions.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the world looks to U.S. energy producers to provide stability in an increasingly unstable world, this punitive tax increase is a serious misstep that undermines America\u2019s energy advantage,\u201d Dustin Meyer, the senior vice president of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs for the American Petroleum Institute,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.api.org\/news-policy-and-issues\/news\/2024\/01\/12\/api-calls-on-congress-to-repeal-ira-methane-fee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>&nbsp;of the proposal. \u201cWhile we support smart federal methane regulation, this proposal creates an incoherent, confusing regulatory regime that will only stifle innovation and undermine our ability to meet rising energy demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy is a de facto \u201cnatural gas tax\u201d that will almost certainly drive up costs for Americans, Larry Behrens, the communications director for Power The Future, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Shortly after House Speaker Mike Johnson took over as the speaker of the House in October, dozens of Republicans in his caucus\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2023\/10\/30\/gop-reps-biden-gas-tax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0to him urging that he endeavor to repeal the enabling statute behind the regulation that the EPA proposed Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a proposal that follows the direction set by Congress in the Inflation Reduction Act, and we are looking forward to comments and input from industry and the public before finalizing it,\u201d an EPA spokesperson told the DCNF, adding that the \u201cestimated energy cost increases are minimal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday\u2019s proposal complements a December 2023 EPA&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2023\/12\/02\/biden-admin-approves-emissions-rule-critics-worry-kneecap-small-energy-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proposal<\/a>&nbsp;for methane detection requirements, which independent oil and gas companies strongly oppose because the increased compliance costs would put them at a disadvantage relative to the major firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Editor\u2019s Note: This article has been updated to include a\u00a0statement from an EPA spokesperson.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
