U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), senior member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, made the following statement today after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a new methane regulatory proposal:
“The Biden administration continues to put American energy producers in its crosshairs, as evidenced by this most recent, sweeping methane regulatory proposal,” Inhofe said. “It’s astonishing that this administration is doubling-down on their radical environmental agenda at the same time their policies drive up gasoline and heating bills across the nation. This new proposal will create an abundance of unnecessary red-tape while further slowing economic and energy development, all in a desperate attempt to suffocate an industry that Democrats disfavor. I will continue to push back against this proposal and all others that would harm America’s energy independence.”
