AFPM President and CEO Chet Thompson issued the following statement on news that President Biden plans to suggest a Windfall Profit Tax as a measure to address fuel supplies and prices in the United States:
“Once again, the President is more worried about political posturing before the midterms than he is about advancing energy policies that will actually deliver for the American people. A windfall profit tax might make for good soundbites, but as policy, it’s bad for consumers. It's likely to disincentivize fuel production and make matters worse for drivers.”
