Today, the American Petroleum Institute (API) released a study, conducted by Wood Mackenzie, that found repealing the Intangible Drilling Costs (IDCs) tax deduction would have a profoundly negative impact on American energy production, including the men and women whose jobs depend on it. According to the study, repeal of the IDC deduction would cost 190,000 American […]
