The True Harm of
President Biden's Green New Deal Agenda




This week, President Biden's
Green New Deal agenda cost 19 employees at Black Butte Coal
Company their jobs, and now more families in Wyoming will be
dealing with the fallout over the holidays. My heart breaks
seeing good people lose their jobs and what makes this situation
particularly painful is the fact it is a direct result of the
Biden administration's war on domestic energy production and coal
in particular.

Coal miners work hard to keep the
lights and heat on in Wyoming during frigid winter nights and
they deserve our gratitude. Despite what this administration may
have you believe, America very much still needs coal, as
evidenced by the fact it is the 3rd-largest energy source for the
country's grid, and Wyoming needs coal miners.

Wyoming's coal and energy sectors
are far from the only ones getting stymied by the Biden
administration.

Ramaco Resources in northern
Wyoming announced this week it discovered the largest
unconventional rare earth deposit in our country worth around $37
billion. The rare earth minerals underground right at home in
Wyoming are essential in building electronics, jet engines and
generators. Beyond bringing jobs and investment to the Cowboy
State, the find would also create an unprecedented opportunity
for our country to break our dependence on China for certain
critical minerals.

However, none of that is possible
until President Biden's overbearing regulatory state gets out of
the way. On average, it takes 19 years for a mining project to
complete environmental reviews and get the necessary permits to
break ground. It is past time to streamline our permitting
process to get these projects underway.

I will continue to serve as a
fierce advocate for Wyoming industries and workers in Washington
to speed up the permitting process to ensure no more energy
workers' jobs are eliminated by radical environmentalists'
political vendetta.


Happy Trails,









Senator Lummis' Week in Pictures















I was thrilled to welcome the CEO
of the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce EJ House and Anni
Bushnell to Washington this week, and even got to show them Team
Lummis' Christmas tree.

























WORKING
IN WASHINGTON



Legislative Actions:


I joined U.S.
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) in sending a letter to Secretary of
State Antony Blinken, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen and
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding answers over the
Biden administration's decision to extend a sanctions waiver that
gave Iran $10 billion.

Bad actors
around the world, and Iran in particular, have been emboldened by
President Biden's weakness. The last thing we need to be doing is
giving foreign adversaries access to billions of dollars.
It is time to
restore our country's leadership around the world and reestablish
the highly successful peace through strength approach of the
Trump administration.














WORKING
IN WYOMING



Working for Wyoming:
I am concerned that
President Biden is using the government to put his finger on the
scale ahead of the 2024 election with Executive Order 4019, which
instructed federal agencies to engage in voter mobilization and
submit to the White House a plan for doing so. Using the federal
government to influence elections is flagrantly illegal and the
people of Wyoming deserve answers about how their tax dollars are
being spent.

I joined U.S. Senator
Bill Hagerty (R-TN) in sending a letter to President Joe Biden
requesting transparency and raising concerns that the executive
order is a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act, which
prohibits federal agencies from using funds without congressional
authorization, as well as an act of potentially unlawful
electioneering.

What the people of
Wyoming need to restore their trust in our elections are answers,
and I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure they get
the transparency from this administration that they deserve.












GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WYOMING






The Department of Interior
announced a new funding opportunity for the WaterSMART grant
program. These water and energy efficiency grants provide funding
for projects that result in quantifiable water savings, implement
renewable energy components and support broader sustainability
benefits. The program is specifically geared toward promoting the
sustainability of water in Wyoming and across the west.

WYOMING SHOUT OUT






Earning the title of Ultimate
Angler in Wyoming is no easy feat. Since the program launched,
just 44 people have accomplished the tall task of catching all 10
of the trophy-sized fish that make up the largest fish in the
state.

15-yeard old Brayden Baker became
just the third teen in history to join the ranks of Ultimate
Angler, and managed to do it all within 60 miles of his hometown
of Lander. While a Yellowstone cutthroat trout was his final
catch, his favorite fish that he caught along the journey was the
lake trout. Congratulations Brayden, keep reeling 'em in!
