Washington D.C. - Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today released the following statement applauding President Trump's pro-coal announcement:
"Today, President Trump made clear he is 150 percent committed to fighting for America's energy workers, and Wyoming couldn't be prouder to stand with him," said Lummis."Directing over $700 million toward coal-fired electricity and export infrastructure is exactly the leadership our nation needs. The growing demands of AI and modern industry require more affordable, reliable electricity which coal delivers. The West Gateway export terminal alone will open critical new pathways for Wyoming coal to reach global markets. Americans cannot afford an energy policy that leaves them in the dark, and with this investment, President Trump is making sure they never will."
