Mixed Reaction from Natural Gas, Oil Industry as $2T Biden Infrastructure Plan Targets Decarbonization, Taxes
President Biden’s $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan has generated mixed reactions from the fossil energy industry, as Biden is asking Congress to raise corporate taxes in order to accelerate the clean energy transition.
The jobs and infrastructure package underscores the “whole-of-government” approach Biden is taking toward climate and energy policy, a shift from previous administrations.
Natural gas and oil industry groups praised the plan’s objectives, such as the expansion of incentives for capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2), but said the administration should be clearer about how hydrocarbons fit into Biden’s “Build Back Better” mandate for infrastructure and the economy.

(
Robert Davis) – Nevada’s Assembly Committee on Government Affairs heard testimony on Tuesday on a bill that would exempt certain small construction projects for state agencies from paying prevailing wages.
Assembly Bill 99 was introduced by Assemblyman John Ellison, R-Elko, in February. The bill would increase the minimum value required to pay prevailing wages on projects of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) from $100,000 to $250,000.
Ellison described the bill as a way to spur growth for small jobs like fixing sidewalks and potholes, and other projects that he says contractors aren’t bidding on.
“You cannot construct a building for less than $100,000, these are small projects, like rebuilding a small stretch of sidewalk,” Ellison said.
