The House has voted in favor of rolling back environmental restrictions on drilling and mining in northern Alaska and Wyoming imposed during the Biden administration that Republicans claim have hindered fossil fuel development and energy dominance in both states.

House Republicans advanced three resolutions of congressional disapproval in a series of votes Tuesday afternoon, starting with a 214-212 vote to pass a resolution that would undo restrictions blocking further coal leasing in Buffalo, Wyoming. One Republican voted against the resolution.
