Energy Fairness Act of 2006

H.R. 5226, the Energy Fairness Act of 2006, proposes to repeal several tax breaks and financial incentives previously granted to the oil and gas industry under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The bill specifically targets tax credits for producing certain fuels, accelerated depreciation schedules for natural gas pipelines, and deductions for refinery equipment and geological exploration costs. If enacted, the bill would eliminate these specific federal subsidies for energy companies, potentially increasing federal tax revenue while removing financial advantages for traditional fossil fuel production and refining operations.
