WASHINGTON (WV News) — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., on Monday wrote EPA Administrator Michael Regan outlining what she sees as significant legal and economic concerns with the agency’s proposed tax on natural gas producers.

The tax is being implemented as part of the Democrats’ so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” targeting American energy workers and employers, Capito said in a news release.
“Together with other policies like the ‘pause’ on approvals of liquefied natural gas export facilities, the administration is sowing regulatory confusion across the natural gas sector,” Capito wrote in part.
“These burdensome and punitive policies will hamstring investments in natural gas, which is responsible for a significant portion of American greenhouse gas emissions reductions since the widespread development of improved natural gas production technology,” Capito wrote.
