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. This restrictive plan reflects the priorities of radical environmentalists in Washington, DC, not the actual state and communities being harmed. The plan should never have been finalized in the first place and Congress is right to reverse these draconian restrictions.
A YES vote on final passage of S.J. Res. 89 is a vote in support of free markets and affordable energy. AEA will include this vote in its American Energy Scorecard.
