introduced the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 to protect American energy from leftist legal crusades punishing lawful activity
Evidence
The House Committee Repository for Tuesday, May 19, 2026 lists a Natural Resources Subcommittee on Federal Lands legislative hearing that includes H.R. 7695, sponsored by Rep. Hageman, to void the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation rule and require construction of certain roads on National Forest System lands.
The committee memo says H.R. 7872, sponsored by Representative Harriet Hageman, would change coal lease bonus payments to annual 10 percent installments over 10 years and would encourage greater participation in coal leases and more affordable, reliable baseload power.
The home page highlighted a June 5, 2026 interview in which Hageman pushed permitting reform and argued for shielding Americans from climate litigation tied to energy producers, linking that effort to her Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026.
Hageman released a June 4, 2026 statement praising President Trump's announced $700 million investment in coal plants and energy infrastructure, saying it would fortify the domestic coal industry and expand export options.
On June 4, 2026, Hageman said the Roadless Rule had locked up 58.5 million acres and noted she had introduced legislation in February to codify its repeal, including language directing roads for timber harvesting, watershed management, and wildfire prevention.
Assessments
This promise was framed as an advocacy commitment rather than a guarantee of a specific enacted result. In her current House term, Hageman materially acted on it by sponsoring and advancing bills to ease roadless-rule restrictions and encourage coal leasing, pushing permitting reform, backing measures to shield energy producers from climate litigation, and publicly supporting federal action to strengthen coal infrastructure. The evidence shows sustained same-term congressional effort directly aligned with protecting and promoting oil, gas, and coal interests, which is sufficient to count the promise as delivered on its own terms even though the cited items do not show all policies became law.
Hageman has taken concrete same-term legislative action aligned with the promise, including sponsoring coal-lease payment legislation and a land-management bill affecting federal lands. However, the evidence shows committee activity and proposals rather than enacted federal policy or a completed outcome protecting energy independence or materially supporting oil, gas, and coal industries at the promised scale. Because the record demonstrates serious effort but not final delivery, this merits partial credit rather than delivered.
