The House Natural Resources Committee met yesterday morning to consider a wide range of legislation that could mandate mining in protected landscapes, require more logging on America’s forests, build more water-storage capacity for Western irrigators, and reduce environmental review for most industrial activities on BLM and National Forest land.⁠
⁠
Together, the committee’s actions are intended to wring some $15 billion from natural-resources management while also clawing back unspent funds from federal agencies. Collectively the revenue generation and cost savings are projected to bring nearly $20 billion to the U.S. Treasury. President Trump’s budget proposal calls for a combination of tax, agency staffing, and program cuts totaling $163 billion combined with revenue generation from energy and mineral resources to arrive at a discretionary federal budget of $1.7 trillion. The total federal budget proposed by congressional Republicans is $3.7 trillion in 2026 and $4 trillion in fiscal year 2027.⁠
