The American Energy Alliance supports S.J. Res. 89 providing for congressional disapproval of the BLM Buffalo field office resource management plan of November 2024.

This BLM decision rushed through during the lame duck of the Biden administration was contrary to the will of Congress, which has long authorized federal lands in the Powder River Basin to be developed as part of Congress's directive that federal lands be open for energy exploration and production.

The American Energy Alliance supports H.R. 1949 the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025, which would streamline the approval process for LNG export approvals.
