New Energy Taxes Will Hobble Economy

Congress will soon consider massive new taxes and fees on America’s oil and natural gas industry, yet this could produce devastating effects on our economy, all when America can least afford it.

These unprecedented taxes and fees would reduce investment in new energy supplies at a time when nearly two-thirds of Americans support developing our domestic oil and natural gas resources. That would mean less energy, and it would cost thousands of American jobs, actually reduce local, state and federal revenue, and further erode our energy security.

Access to Oil and Gas: Jobs, Revenues, More Energy

Greater access to America's vast oil and natural gas resources would bring more domestic energy, thousands of American jobs, billions in government revenues and less reliance on imported energy.

Oil and natural gas companies are ready to do their part in putting more Americans back to work. But to create jobs, we need policies that allow investment and development—policies that are pro-job, pro-consumer and pro-energy.
