I totally support this bill that disapproves the EPA rule on Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems. It's important to have regulations in place to protect our environment, but this rule was just too burdensome for the industry. As a resident of MI, where the petroleum and natural gas industry plays a significant role in our economy, I believe this bill will help maintain jobs and keep energy costs down for consumers like me. It's a win-win situation!
