It is WRONG to attack @EPA’s waste emissions charge. Americans demand we #CutMethane & other toxic oil&gas pollution. Congress must oppose this resolution, stand up against corporate polluters & stand with communities & #publichealth.

The Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act means corporate oil+gas profits will keep lining the pockets of their biggest supporters in Congress. @EPA’s methane fee cuts excessive waste by charging only the largest polluters – creating jobs, economic stability & energy security. #CutMethane
NM-El Paso IPL retweeted
@SenTedCruz and @RepPfluger’s Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act will repeal the commonsense methane fee, which will only be paid by the biggest law-breaking corporate polluters. This proposal is a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card for corporate donors. #CutMethane
