Coal is the lifeblood of an affordable, prosperous future. We need more energy, not less. Wyoming is America's energy breadbasket and Wyoming coal will deliver.
.@SecretaryBurgum on the importance of the Trump Administration backing clean, beautiful coal: The states that have policies that have leaned in hard toward intermittent energy sources and so-called renewable sources, they’ve got the highest electricity rates in the country.
States that choose to sue their fellow basin states over Colorado River operations should not expect Congress to reward that decision with additional federal funding.
Federal taxpayers should not be asked to subsidize litigation among states.
🔴 LIVE: @SenMikeLee leads the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in a hearing to conduct oversight of the Colorado River Basin, including its current hydrologic conditions and ongoing negotiations regarding post-2026 operations.

For too long, ranchers and land managers were forced to work under outdated rules.
@POTUS made it clear that we must cut red tape, support those who feed our nation and ensure our public lands remain healthy for future generations. This does exactly that.

Today our Carlsbad lease sale was HOT🔥 - netting over $𝟰 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 in high bids for less than 1% of BLM NM’s subsurface mineral estate! Thanks to @POTUS and @SecretaryBurgum, we have restored quarterly lease sales with half of this $$ going to New Mexico for schools, hospitals, public safety and other municipal needs.
FACT: In just one sale, we just 10X’d total receipts of every single onshore lease sales conducted in FOUR years under Biden.
🔧 Fixed THAT. 🔨
This all leads to:
⛽️More American energy
🏨Increased $$ for municipal infrastructure
👨🏭More American jobs and economic growth
💰 BILLIONS in future royalties
🌵Investment into conservation efforts

The Energy Title of @SenateGOP’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act helped generate a record-breaking $4 BILLION from a single lease sale in New Mexico and Texas.
That means billions of dollars in revenue for New Mexican schools and communities, good-paying jobs, increased domestic production, and real American energy independence.
America has some of the richest energy resources in the world, and @POTUS is putting those resources to work!
The latest oil and gas lease sale under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act just generated over $4 BILLION for taxpayers and local communities!

Great news for Wyoming and the West - the Senate just confirmed Stevan Pearce to head up the Bureau of Land Management.
Decisions made by @BLMNational have a significant impact on Wyoming’s economy and our way of life. Director Pearce will be a strong partner in the fight to protect the multiple-use of Wyoming’s and all of America’s federal lands.
For years, layers of regional bureaucracy slowed forest management and created roadblocks that made it harder to get things done.
The Forest Service’s reorganization will push resources closer to the forests and districts where these decisions actually matter.
WATCH: @SecretaryBurgum says that a whopping $1.5 trillion in infrastructure capital is currently waiting on a permit.
His message to @SenJohnBarrasso and @EnergyGOP: it’s time to fix the costly creep of weaponized regulations by passing comprehensive permitting reform.
.@POTUS promised to unleash American Energy Dominance.
Today, @SecretaryBurgum is before the Committee to discuss how @Interior is executing on that mission and everything they are doing to make America safer, stronger, more beautiful, and more prosperous.
Under @SecretaryBurgum, America is producing again
Lease sales are back on schedule
Mining is gaining ground
All of it makes America stronger, more prosperous, and less dependent on foreign adversaries
Democrats still haven’t learned: when you subsidize intermittent power and punish dispatchable power, prices go up.
Case in point: after the Inflation Reduction Act, electricity prices saw their largest increase since we started tracking this data in 1984.
Chinese nationals are actively exploiting this visa loophole to scam American birthright citizenship.
We cannot allow our laws to be abused through birth tourism. It is time to end this dangerous, Biden-era policy NOW!
NEW: Four GOP Senators, @BasedMikeLee, @JohnCornyn, @SenRickScott, & @BillCassidy, have penned a letter to DHS Secretary Mullin, urging him to close a Biden era “birth tourism” loophole that allows Chinese nationals to visit the Northern Mariana Islands for 14 days without a visa, which they say is being exploited by the Chinese due to birthright citizenship.
