Every single day Wyoming energy producers work long hours in tough
conditions to keep the lights on in our homes and our cars on the road. Their hard work is often unappreciated and demonized by costal elites that dream of banning fossil fuels and making the Green New Deal a
reality. In Wyoming, we know and appreciate the vital role these hardworking men and
women play in powering the simple luxuries of modern life that many people take for granted. That is why I led a resolution with 11 of my colleagues
to designate October 4th, 2023, as National Energy Appreciation Day to celebrate the miners, oil workers and others who power our
nation. Highlighting the importance of Wyoming energy has never been more critical.
President Biden’s war on domestic energy has skyrocketed gas prices to nearly $4.00 a gallon in Wyoming, depleted America’s Strategic
Petroleum Reserve to its lowest level in 40 years and forced our nation to import oil from hostile foreign countries.
Wyoming accounts for nearly 10% of all energy produced in our nation, and we have the resources right here in the
Cowboy State to return our country to energy independence if President Biden took his boot off the energy industry’s neck.
Let’s celebrate Wyoming energy workers and recognize the vital role they
play. Happy

Senator Lummis' Week in Pictures | ||
The Huntsman Cancer Institute came to Washington and sat down
with my team to discuss how we can expand and improve cancer treatment in Wyoming and tackle some of the unique challenges of rural medicine.
I joined the Heritage Foundation and the Independent Women’s Forum for a discussion about my resolution to
designate October 4th, 2023, as National Energy Appreciation Day and how we can unleash Wyoming energy producers and restore America’s energy
independence.

GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WYOMING |
The
Department of Energy (DOE) announced $27 million in grant funding for carbon capture technology programs. While we know that Wyoming energy is the
cleanest energy in the world, carbon capture helps further reduce carbon dioxide emissions. DOE expects to make up to nine awards for up to $3 million each with a minimum of a 20% cost-sharing from the awardees.
Eligible applicants include individuals, institutions of higher education, for- and non-profit organizations, state and local governments and Indian
tribes. |

Worland native Jay Richard grows large pumpkins, very large pumpkins. This year his biggest pumpkin, Joanie, weighs in at
1,686 pounds and recently took first place in a competition in Littleton, Colorado. Now Jay has his sights set on winning the Wyoming state
championship. The championship measures the heaviest pumpkins in the Cowboy State
and even requires a 175-foot crane to hoist the giant pumpkins onto the scale. I wish all the Wyoming pumpkin growers the best of luck at the weigh
in!
