Rep. Hageman is a champion for Wyoming coal in Congress, serving as co-chair of the Coal Caucus and spearheading legislation to overturn the Buffalo RMP and increase coal leasing in the Powder River Basin. These policies and more are included in the President\u2019s order, fulfilling his promise to unleash American energy and bolster our prosperity.\n\n\u201cCoal is the energy of the future \u2013 Wyoming understands that, and so does President Trump. This is yet another promise made and delivered from President Trump, and one which rightly recognizes that coal is key to powering the great American comeback. Decades of dystopian environmental policies manifested in the Obama and Biden presidencies, the Inflation Reduction Act, and more, all designed to shutter Wyoming and decrease the affordability and reliability of American power. I do not believe that the role of the federal government is to force despair on its people, and neither does President Trump. Today is a win for Wyoming and a win for America,\u201d said Rep. Hageman.\n\nThis executive order implements policy to maximize current coal mining operations and encourage new projects for generations to come. This includes streamlining coal leasing, providing royalty rate relief, prioritizing coal exports, designating metallurgical coal as a critical mineral, and expanding categorical exclusions for coal. This executive order is on top of actions already taken by President Trump to stave off coal power plant closures and nullify harmful Biden regulations.\n\nSince assuming office in 2023, Rep. Hageman has introduced legislation to terminate the Biden administration\u2019s Buffalo RMP revision, end the federal coal moratorium, and require leasing of federal coal reserves. As a member of the Natural Resources Committee, she is also working to include coal policy derived from her bills and the President\u2019s executive order in the budget reconciliation process.\n\n###\n\nContact: Esteban Elizondo, Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:33:40Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-hageman-applauds-president-trumps-executive-order-coal"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.499922014772892, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
