Just as the country is making this big transition from fossil fuels that are heating the planet to cleaner energy, Tejada says the Trump administration is tying the country to oil and gas for another century.

Well, they're pretty happy. The American Petroleum Institute said voters picked Trump for cheaper energy. And now his administration is answering that call. And much of this fits with API's policy priorities. And we've already seen some of the biggest oil and gas companies reorient themselves from climate change concerns and back to fossil fuels.

Natural gas is mostly methane and often released when drilling for oil. It's a potent climate warmer, which is why former President Biden's signature climate law required the EPA to establish the fee. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the fee a tax.

Democratic Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse criticized the repeal. Bending the knee to the wishes of the fossil fuel industry appears to have no limits.

Yeah, the company is Energy Transfer. It's based in Dallas, and it claims Greenpeace and other activists conspired to raise money, incite protests, hurt the company's reputation, and delay construction of its Dakota Access Pipeline.
