The promised outcome was to eliminate oil and gas tax subsidies and tax breaks. The evidence shows at least one targeted oil and gas tax credit, 26 USC 45I for marginal wells, remained in effect as of August 29, 2026, so the substantive outcome was not delivered. Casten did materially attempt the policy by introducing H.R. 383, the End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act of 2025, in a later House term, but it was only introduced and referred to committee rather than enacted.
