Rep. Hageman on Biden Admin's 'Radical Resource Management Plans' and Energy Security

Overturning Biden Administration's Resource Management Plans

• 🎯 Rep. Harriet Hageman strongly supports Congressional Review Act joint resolutions to overturn the Biden administration's "disastrous and radical resource management plans."
• 💡 The Mile City Resource Management Plan (RMP) in Montana and the Buffalo RMP amendment in Wyoming are highlighted as examples of these problematic plans.

Impact on Coal Leasing and Energy Security

• coal leasing across the Powder River Basin, which holds approximately 30% of the nation's coal reserves.
• ⚠️ These plans are described as mineral withdrawals in disguise, running contrary to federal law by locking up America's resources.
• ⚡ The restriction of access to coal reserves is seen as undermining energy security, pushing the U.S. towards dependence on foreign nations.

Economic and Social Consequences

• 💰 The Mile City Plan alone strips away access to 37.8 billion short tons of coal, enough to meet U.S. demand for 73 years.
• 📈 Consequences include higher energy costs for American families, a loss of $46 million annually in Montana state revenue, and the elimination of high-paying jobs in rural communities.
• 🚫 Bureaucrats pushing "no leasing alternatives" are criticized for amounting to backdoor energy bans, leading to what the speaker calls "energy poverty."

Call to Action and Restoring American Energy

• 🗣️ Hageman criticizes the Biden administration's actions as catering to a vocal but minority climate lobby at the expense of the American people.
• 🇺🇸 The resolution aligns with President Trump's executive orders to reinvigorate clean coal and unleash American energy, aiming to restore American energy dominance.
• ✅ Support for the resolution is urged to put the needs of constituents and all Americans first.
