#1 'WASHINGTON, DC — While Congress moves toward historic action to address inflation, close tax loopholes, and tackle climate change, new earnings reports reveal an unprecedented wave of profiteering from Big Oil when families struggled under the crushing weight of high gas prices. Climate Power’s new analysis shows that 19 U.S. Oil & Gas companies managed to dodge $8.5 billion in taxes in 2021, paying an average effective tax rate of 2.86%—far below the nominal rate of 21%. The findings clearly demonstrate the need to take on the fossil fuel industry’s greed and enact tax fairness, and the House must act swiftly to close these loopholes by passing the Inflation Reduction Act.'
