flag Senate overrides Biden rule on Montana coal leases; Trump to decide on revival amid energy shift.

flag The U.S. Senate, backed by Republicans, passed a resolution to overturn a 2024 Biden-era rule that halted new federal coal leases in Montana’s Powder River Basin, citing job losses and energy independence. flag The move, using the Congressional Review Act, enables renewed coal leasing and a $186,000 bid for 167 million tons of coal—about a tenth of a cent per ton—amid a federal government shutdown. flag The resolution now goes to President Donald Trump for signature, reflecting a broader shift toward fossil fuel expansion, including cuts to renewable projects, despite a 40% decline in Montana’s coal production since 2010.
