It\u2019s a great Christmas present to see this signed into law.\u201d\n\n\u201cWith President Trump\u2019s signature, we\u2019ve officially ended the Biden-era war on Wyoming coal,\u201d said Senator John Barrasso. \u201cI\u2019m proud of the work Senator Lummis and Representative Hageman and I did to pass this resolution and stand up for Wyoming\u2019s coal miners and energy workers. Reversing this harmful proposal opens up thousands of acres for coal leasing and protects more than 4,000 good-paying jobs. Wyoming plays an important role in producing energy that is affordable, reliable, and abundant. Together with the Trump administration, we\u2019re unleashing Wyoming energy and getting America back on track.\u201d\n\n\u201cToday is a victory for Wyoming and our nation\u2019s energy security,\u201d said Congresswoman Harriet Hageman. \u201cWith President Trump signing H.J. Res. 130 into law, we overturned the Biden administration\u2019s Buffalo RMPA that ended future coal leasing in Wyoming\u2019s Powder River Basin, threatening thousands of jobs, undermining local communities, and jeopardizing affordable, reliable energy for millions of Americans. This law allows our state to responsibly develop its resources and upholds our leadership in American energy production. I am proud to have fought alongside Senators Lummis and Barrasso to deliver this commonsense solution for our great state.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nThe presidential signing of this CRA officially terminates the Biden administration\u2019s Buffalo RMPA, reverting to the previous plan, and prohibits the BLM from issuing a substantially similar plan.\n\nThe WY delegation introduced the CRA in both the Senate and the House on October 8, 2025, and it passed both the Senate and the House the week of November 20th, 2025.\n\nOver 40% of U.S. coal production comes from the Powder River Basin (PRB), located in northeast Wyoming and southeast Montana. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages 780,291 acres and 4,731,140 acres of mineral estate in Wyoming\u2019s PRB, located within Campbell, Johnson, and Sheridan counties.\n\nThe BLM manages these lands pursuant to a Resource Management Plan for the Buffalo Field Office. In November 2024, the Biden administration issued a Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA) for Buffalo, selecting the no new leasing alternative. This makes \u201cno BLM administered coal acceptable,\u201d zeros out 481,000 acres for coal leasing, and makes 48.12 billion short tons of coal unavailable. This is enough to meet U.S. coal demand for the next 116 years.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "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/wyoming-delegation-joins-president-trump-white-house-he-strikes-down-biden-era"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8501089178025723, "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"}
