Fighting Back Against
the Green New Deal




A recent report by the North
American Reliability Corporation found that our nation's
electrical grid is woefully unprepared for the peak demand of hot
summer months and the risk of rolling blackouts is growing.

Why is America, a nation blessed
with the resources to be energy independent, facing an energy
crisis?

Because President Biden has made
it his mission to make the Green New Deal a reality. He has
forced the premature closure of reliable coal-fired power plants
and replaced them with unreliable wind and solar energy.

This week, my colleagues and I
fought back against President Biden's green dreams that have
turned into a nightmare for Wyoming.

I joined Senator Shelley Moore
Capito (R-WV) in sending a letter to Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan demanding that the EPA
pump the brakes on its Clean Power Plan 2.0 that would accelerate
the closing of coal-fired power plants. Before the EPA shutters
any more coal-fired power plants, it needs to go meet with the
communities being impacted to hear about the cruel nature of its
radical agenda.

Additionally, I joined Senator
Roger Wicker (R-MS) in introducing a Congressional Review Act
(CRA) resolution to overturn the EPA's Good Neighbor Rule, which
is not only short sighted but dangerous and would shut down
Wyoming's power plants, causing great risk to our nation's energy
security and grid reliability.

The United States should always
be fueling innovation, but we cannot put the cart before the
horse. The truth is, America still needs Wyoming coal to keep the
lights on. I will continue to be a tireless advocate for our
state's vast energy resources in Congress.


Happy Trails,

Legislative Actions:


I joined Senator
John Kennedy (R-LA) in introducing the Tracking Bad Actors Act
which would create a public database of people who have committed
financial crimes or have civil liability for financial misdeeds.

The bill
would clear up the mysterious world of finance by allowing people
in Wyoming to easily determine if their accountant or financial
manager has broken federal financial laws in the past.














WORKING
IN WYOMING



Working for Wyoming:
As a lifelong
rancher, I understand that nothing is more frustrating than when
pesky and pointless government regulations get in the way of
doing a hard day's work. That is why I cosponsored the WATER Act
which seeks to reform outdated tax provisions surrounding mutual
water storage and delivery companies that ranchers and farmers
across Wyoming rely on.
By reforming an
arbitrary line of the tax code, we can ensure the agriculture
industry and rural communities have access to an affordable water
supply. Having easy access to water is a matter of life and death
both for the livestock and a rancher's livelihood. Big government
should not get in the way of that.












GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WYOMING






The Wyoming Federal Funding
Summit, hosted by Senator Barrasso, Governor Gordon and myself,
will be held in Sheridan next week. The grant writing intensive
will take place on June 12th and 13th. Space is very limited for
the writing portion of the course, so organizations are
encouraged to register as soon as possible and only send one
representative to this course. The federal funding overview and
seminar will take place June 14th and 15th. All sessions are free
and open to the public, but prior registration is required. If
interested in attending but unable to come in person, there will
be a virtual option for people to attend both the grant course
and federal funding summit.

In addition to the federal grant
writing and management workshop, there will be additional panels
and discussions on Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA)
and Inflation Reduction Act funding, technical assistance and
grant management and an open house with federal agency
representatives where participants will have the opportunity to
bring them their projects, questions and ideas. Representatives
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Economic
Development Authority, the Department of Housing & Urban
Development, Department of Transportation, Department of Energy,
Small Business Administration, USDA Rural Development and various
state partners and agencies will be in attendance.

A full event agenda can be found
here. While Senator Barrasso and I did not support final passage
of the Infrastructure, Investment & Jobs Act or the Inflation
Reduction Act, we are committed to ensuring Wyoming communities
and citizens have fair access to the programs their tax dollars
are helping to fund.

WYOMING SHOUT OUT






Nothing makes me happier than
seeing the people of Wyoming chase their dreams and accomplish
lifelong goals.

The NCAA Track & Field
championships this week will feature three outstanding local
runners. BYU senior and Cheyenne Central Alum Aubrey Frentheway
will compete in the 10,000-meter finals, University of Washington
senior and Jackson native Anna Gibson will run in the 1500-meter
semifinals and University of Wyoming senior Katelyn Mitchem will
compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Next week, Wyoming will also be
well represented at the Special Olympics 2023 World Games in
Berlin thanks to Luke Bappe of Riverton, who is competing in
track and field, and Coach Jessica Purdum of Powell.

Wyoming athletes are truly doing
wonderful things that inspire and make us so proud. Good luck
Aubrey, Anna, Katelyn, Luke and Jessica!
