With the adoption of a House resolution seeking to rescind the Biden administration’s termination of coal leases in Montana’s Powder River Basin, Rep. Harriet Hagemann (R-Wyo.) is calling for a similar measure to restore coal leases in the basin’s Wyoming span.

“When the Powder River Basin turns off, so does America,” Hageman said from the floor during Sept. 3 debate on HR 104. “Energy security is national security. By restricting access to our own resources, it pushes America towards greater dependence on foreign nations, including our adversaries.”
