John Hoeven: “This is tremendous news for our coal industry in North Dakota, which has consistently achieved its air quality targets…”

Fundamentally, we want to work with our ranchers to grow our herds.

Not only will these efforts increase domestic production of vital resources like fertilizer and critical minerals, but they will help generate the CO2 we need to increase oil production in the Bakken.

With electricity demand surging, the affordable and reliable power provided by coal is more important than ever, making our Crack the Code 2.0 initiative a critical priority for the future of U.S. energy production.

That's why I've worked since my time as governor to ensure the EPA approves the state's haze mitigation plan, while pushing back on one-size-fits-all rules that were imposed on our coal producers under the Obama and Biden administrations.
