The Public Record
The circumstances were really tough and did not allow for as much as everybody wanted to do.
If the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, targeting the production of Federal fossil fuels only shifts production to other countries, many of whom have far less stringent emission controls than the U.S.
Revenue from fossil fuels in Wyoming funds our schools, healthcare, public safety, and other essential services.
Wyoming does not need, nor do we welcome, an additional layer of Federal regulation to regulate methane emissions.
Policies like the ban on Federal oil and gas leasing are disproportionately harmful to Western states due to the amount of land and minerals held by the Federal Government and really for no effective reason.
Thank you for remembering that burning fossil fuels is not the problem. It is concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere that is the most urgent and critical task of this generation.
