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.

Direct official statement of support for the core commitment, including subsidy repeal and closing fracking loopholes.

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.

Concrete legislative action in the current term to eliminate a fossil-fuel subsidy, though it does not by itself show the fracking-loophole part is finished.

partial same_term A for effort

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.
