Governor Mark Gordon has issued the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s announcement it plans to withdraw a Trump administration rule lowering royalty payments on fossil fuels.
The list of anti-fossil fuel actions implemented by the Biden Administration without prior consultation with fossil fuel Governors just keeps getting longer. This announcement is clearly a pattern, and the effort to justify this withdrawal based on harm to the U.S. taxpayer is disingenuous.

A Louisiana Federal Judge ruled that new oil and gas leases could not be temporarily halted on federal lands nationwide.
Judge Terry A. Doughty of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana granted a preliminary injunction Tuesday against the administration, saying that the power to pause offshore oil and gas leases “lies solely with Congress” because it was the legislative branch that originally made federal lands and waters available for leasing.

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Tax Credit Amendments Act could spur clean energy innovation and reduce greenhouse gases.
The bipartisian legislation combines two priorities, the extension window for projects to begin construction and qualify for the 45Q tax credit to the end of 2030 and a direct pay option for the 45Q tax credits.
This extension window would provide project developers and investors the financial certainty and time horizon needed to complete current projects and launch many new ones to begin scaling up carbon capture, direct air capture and carbon utilization technologies to meet midcentury climate goals.
The direct pay option for the 45Q and 48A tax credits would allow recipients to receive the full value of the credits as an estimated payment on their tax return allowing companies to secure the private investment needed to finance projects, while avoiding the wasteful inefficiencies and added cost of tax equity transactions that constrain the very innovation that these tax credits aim to incentivize.
