Verified. The promise (2024-09-25) was that Barrasso INTRODUCED the Enhanced Energy Recovery Act to change the Section 45Q carbon-capture tax credit so carbon used for enhanced energy production receives the same treatment as carbon used for utilization or sequestration. Both cited primary sources are reachable and support this. Barrasso's own Senate office release (title: "Barrasso Introduces Enhanced Energy Recovery Act"), dated September 25, 2024, confirms he introduced S.5212, joined by Lankford and Cassidy, and states the bill "would create parity under the Section 45Q carbon capture tax credit by giving across-the-board, equal treatment for carbon captured for increased energy production, utilization, and sequestration." The Cassidy office release confirms the same three senators and the mechanism: EOR/utilization is raised from $60 to $85/metric ton to match sequestration ($85). LEADERSHIP is confirmed for the CHAMPIONED rating: although Cassidy's press release lists Cassidy first in its headline, the authoritative legislative record (Congress.gov bill text, via search snippet since the page 403s to automated fetch) states "Mr. Barrasso introduced the bill along with co-sponsors Mr. Lankford and Mr. Cassidy" — i.e., Barrasso is the SPONSOR of record and Lankford/Cassidy are cosponsors. This is genuine authorship/lead-sponsorship, not merely a vote or supporting cosponsorship, so CHAMPIONED holds. The promise was to introduce the bill, which he fully accomplished; non-passage before the 118th Congress ended does not affect the promise, which did not include enactment. Minor note: the first cited quote paraphrases only the lead-in ("The legislation aims to" for "The Enhanced Energy Recovery Act (S. 5212) would") while the distinctive substance matches verbatim; the second cited quote is a faithful paraphrase whose material facts all appear on the page. I have normalized both to the verbatim on-page wording. Confidence is 0.93 rather than higher only because the definitive Congress.gov/GovTrack sponsor pages block automated fetch and were confirmed via search snippet rather than direct read.
