Lummis Leads Wyoming Delegation in Introducing CRA to Overturn Biden Buffalo RMP
U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso, along with Congresswoman Harriet Hageman, introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution Wednesday to overturn the Biden administration’s Buffalo Resource Management Plan Amendment. According to information from the office of Senator Lummis, the CRA would be used by Congress to disapprove of, and therefore overturn, the Biden issued RMPA.
Senator Lummis said the Biden administration waged an unrelenting war on Wyoming coal and American energy independence, and their Buffalo Resource Management Plan Amendment was a key piece for environmental extremists who want to destroy all coal mining in the Powder River Basin, adding that coal is the backbone of Wyoming’s economy, as it supports thousands of good-paying jobs, generates the revenue that funds our communities, and provides reliable, cheap electricity to Americans across our country.
If passed in the House and Senate and signed into law, the CRA would terminate the no leasing alternative, revert to the previous plan, and prohibit the BLM from issuing a substantially similar plan. Congress has 60 legislative days to pass it.

There are options other than coal…Wyoming is ranked as one of the top windiest states in the nation There’s enough wind across various regions of Wyoming to power not only the needs of Wyoming residents but also the needs of bordering states as well.

There are NO other options as good as Clean Coal-generated Electricity. Nothing else even comes close.
Wyoming has been the nation’s leading producer of Clean Coal for decades, despite the mis-guided liberal attempts to regulate it into submission.
Every time you see a Tesla on the road….thank the coal miners that provided the electricity.
Wind and solar are NOT cost efficient. Period.

…try and convince landowners who have allowed wind turbine generators to be placed on their property that wind turbine generators are not cost efficient…investors are building them and landowners receive anywhere between $10,0000 to $35,000 per year just for placement…they provide a lot of energy and they must be cost efficient or people wouldn’t be building them…smart as a fox…nope

Those “landowner subsidies” are provided by our tax dollars. They do not reflect the very high cost per KW of the wind-generated electricity. And the wind does not always blow, while the need for electricity is constant. Just because you see windmills doesn’t mean they are cost-effective. They are proven to be very inefficient compared to coal/gas generated power.
I’ve lived off the grid for over a decade and generated my own power via solar and wind. It can be done, but is very difficult, even for a single home. Wind/solar are inferior for mass power applications at this time.

Doesn’t the result of the attempts to sell a lease in MT prove how silly the belief that coal is coming back is. The only bid that came in was for pennies on the ton and consequently leases in WY were delayed. Regulations didn’t kill coal, economics did.

Casper has a large wind turbine landfill used for the unrecyclable fiberglass blades. Probably over 1000 buried there since 2019. How long before these pollute the ground or water surrounding it. With more inevitably to come. Wind power is great, but not the only source we should rely on.

Vortex bladeless wind turbines are quiet, bird-safe, and require less maintenance than turbine blade driven wind generators and there are no issues with fiberglass disposal.

I have heard the myth of “energy independence” my whole life. These resources wind up in the hands of multinational corporations, not the citizens of a country or state. I’m sure that the buggy whip makers that represent us in Washington will convince enough MAGA’s that this is a great idea, but it’s based on an economic model from the last century…and the one before that. Finally, Debbie, all energy production creates “some” waste, where do you think all of that coal ash goes? Usually onto public land or the absolute cheapest way that companies can get rid of it. And yes, it’s happened here in Wyoming.

Everything she said is a lie. Ask our representatives why they voted to block the Epstien files and you’ll hear another pack of lies. I look forward to the day when they have to defend their actions insupport of this facist pedophile protecting regime.

Coal is on a huge comeback trail. The Dems are at the end of their trail.
Socialism/Communism/Marxism have Failed everywhere they’ve ever been tried.
Same here in America.

…Socialism is far from the end of any trail…if socialism has failed the federal and State governments would not be investing in privately held businesses as is currently occurring….if you want several specific examples you will first need to climb out of your box

…depends on who the interpreter of socialism is…for example when billions of dollars of Covid relief money was offered to every state in the nation conservative republicans as well as democrats held their arms outward and palms upwards and banked billions of dollars above and beyond of taxpayer dollars that weren’t even spent and still have not been spent

Mr Fox …similar to Javier Milei (El Presidente de Argentina)…except Argentina/Milei will get 28,110,580,000,000.00 Pesos (20 Billion USD)

President Milei has brought Argentina back from near-ruin. He’s an economics professor with all the right ideas: cut taxes and shrink the gov’t a lot.
He’s on track to reduce inflation and return his country to it’s former capitalistic glory.
Lower taxes and smaller gov’t have always been the path to success.
I’m not a fan of ANY foreign aid, though. Especially when we’re broke and have to re-pay 37 trillion in debt…just to get back to being….broke!

It’s no consolation that Argentine president Milei was an economics professor….Trump supposedly has a bachelor’s degree in economics and Trumps own business ventures declared chapter 11 bankruptcy six times….
Mark Steingass
October 17, 2025 at 2:42 pm
The USA can’t even pay our own national debt and we are “loaning” Argentina 20 billion bucks?…that’s nonsense…if Milei was such an economic wizard Argentina wouldn’t need to borrow 20 billion dollars from American taxpayers to return his country to “capitalist glory”…additionally “the jury is still out” whether the combined “Truminomics” plan of tariffs and other economic inflationary manipulations will bankrupt our own country…so far it looks to me the correct title for Trumps book should have been “The Art Of The Schlemiel”
Dennis Fox

And he won the presidential election 3 times and is serving in his second term as President of the USA.
He and Milei may be able to save their countries by implementing founding economic principles and returning to sound money.
Exposing the fallacies of Marxism is a good start!
