I support legislation to repeal fossil fuel subsidies and close loopholes for fracking that exempt Big Oil companies from clean water and air regulations.
Support legislation to repeal fossil fuel subsidies and close fracking loopholes that exempt Big Oil from clean water and air regulations.
Occurrences
end fossil fuel subsidies ($170 billion)
reintroduced the End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act (EOR) to end the tax break rewarding the fossil fuel industry for using carbon capture for EOR
Evidence
Khanna’s official energy-and-environment page says he supports legislation to repeal fossil-fuel subsidies and close fracking loopholes that exempt Big Oil from clean water and air regulations.
The same official page records that Khanna and Sen. Merkley reintroduced the End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act on March 30, 2026, describing it as a way to end a major domestic fossil-fuel subsidy.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation on two fronts: repealing fossil-fuel subsidies and closing fracking loopholes. The evidence shows clear public support for both goals on Khanna's official issues page, and it shows a concrete same-term legislative action on the subsidy side through reintroduction of the End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act. But the record provided does not show equally concrete legislative sponsorship or advancement for the fracking-loophole portion, nor does it show either objective being fully enacted. That supports partial rather than full delivery, with credit for meaningful legislative effort during the same term.
