The House of Representatives and the Senate voted to overturn a Biden-era rule imposing progressively higher fees on oil and natural gas companies for excess methane emissions, advancing the bill to President Trump for his signature. The House vote was 220-206 and the Senate vote was 52-47. The measure was part of Biden’s climate law, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act . However, because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) did not formally set rules until late last year, Congress could...

The American Energy Alliance supports H.J. Res. 42, providing for congressional disapproval of certain Department of Energy appliance standards.

Energy efficiency standards were created 50 years ago when politicians feared we were running out of domestic energy sources and dangerously reliant on the Middle East. That world is long past and the U.S. is the world's leading natural gas, as well as leading oil, producer. Additionally, technology development has made appliances enormously...

WASHINGTON DC (3/5/25) – President Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico went into effect yesterday, with a 25% tariff on most goods and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy imports, including crude oil and electricity. Canadian and Mexican officials have both signaled plans to respond with retaliatory tariffs of their own.

Tom Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, issued the following statement:

“We appreciate that the President recognizes that energy is its own...

Trump wants to revive a canceled pipeline that would carry natural gas from Pennsylvania’s shale gas fields to New York, indicating that it could cut energy prices in the Northeast by as much as 70%. The 124-mile Constitution Pipeline project was abandoned due to legal and regulatory challenges that made it economically unfeasible. The pipeline was proposed in 2013 at a projected cost under $700 million , but delays and legal challenges drove up the costs by nearly 40%. After the project...

WASHINGTON DC (2/26/25) – Today, the House passed H.J. Res. 35 with a vote of 220-206-1. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to express congressional disapproval of the methane emissions tax on U.S. oil and gas producers.

Tom Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, released the following statement:

"It cannot be overstated—reliable and affordable energy is absolutely essential to the...

The American Energy Alliance supports S.J. Res. 12, providing for congressional disapproval of the EPA methane fee. 

The EPA methane fee is nothing more than an unnecessary tax on energy. Energy producers already have a strong economic incentive to minimize methane leakage throughout their processes because natural gas is marketable product. Piling an EPA tax on top of that existing business rationale is unnecessary. It raises compliance costs without providing any additional incentive...

The American Energy Alliance supports H.J. Res. 35, providing for congressional disapproval of the EPA methane fee and H.J. Res. 20, providing for congressional disapproval of the Department of Energy rules on gas fired tankless water heaters. Both these rulemakings were part of the previous administration's efforts to increases energy costs and limit consumer choice in pursuit of its ideological goals.

The EPA methane fee is nothing more than an unnecessary tax on energy. Energy...
