An Air Force veteran newly elected to represent an oil-rich Texas district said President-elect Joe Biden's proposals on taxes, and the oil and gas industry are "extremely alarming." "We're going to do everything we can to continue to fight for things like energy independence," Pfluger, a former fighter pilot, told Fox News. Traveling to Washington recently for congressional orientation, Pfluger, 42, said Biden's agenda could hurt his district and hamper affordable energy. "When you look at the 2017 tax reform and [Biden] wanting to increase taxes on Day One," Pfluger said. Biden wants America to evolve to a "100% clean energy economy" and become the world's clean energy superpower, creating millions of jobs in the process.
