With the cost of energy weighing on Americans, a GOP-led House panel considered a bill Tuesday that takes aim at the Biden administration’s green energy agenda, blaming it for rising energy costs.
“I believe that this administration is furthering energy poverty as an affirmative policy for the purpose of controlling human behavior and pursuing a radical climate agenda," said Wyoming GOP Rep. Harriet Hageman, who is sponsoring the bill in the House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources.
U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman believes President Joe Biden’s administration is “hell-bent” on killing American energy independence.
On Tuesday, she reacted to the Biden administration’s recent commitment to not build any more new coal plants and shut down existing ones by 2035.
“Yet another move by a Biden administration hell-bent on ending our energy independence,” she posted on X. “Coal will be needed for generations to come.”
A House committee advanced a measure to repeal President Joe Biden’s executive order involving federal agencies in election administration and to require more transparency.
Wyoming’s only Representative in the U.S. House, Harriet Hageman, has served in Congress for almost a year. In that time, Republicans have struggled to maintain their leadership and have fiercely debated government funding and American involvement in foreign conflicts. Wyoming Public Radio’s Will Walkey spoke with Hageman about her reflections about her tenure so far, as well as what issues she’s focusing on in the new year.
The following transcript has been lightly edited for brevity and clarity.

Wyoming’s lone U.S. House representative co-sponsored a budget amendment Tuesday that would have defunded a federal law that requires all passenger cars sold after 2026 to have a kill switch.

For U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s support of the terrorist Hamas group’s aggression toward Israel became too much to ignore.
