Washington, D.C. — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today released the following statement regarding the Department of the Interior’s decision to move forward with coal lease sales in Alabama, Utah, and Montana:

“Coal has long played an important role in fueling our economy and providing good-paying jobs, especially here in Alabama. The announcement that the Department of the Interior will move forward with competitive coal lease sales in Tuscaloosa County is welcome news for our state’s workers and for America’s energy future.

“The two lease areas being offered cover about 14,000 acres and contain an estimated 53 million tons of metallurgical coal, which is vital for steelmaking and has been recognized as a critical material under the Energy Act of 2020. These resources will help ensure America maintains its industrial strength, while also creating opportunities for families and communities across West Alabama.

“I am encouraged by this continued focus on American energy independence and resource security. By responsibly developing our domestic energy and mineral resources, we can support local economies, reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, and strengthen our national security.”

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will hold the sealed-bid sale for the Alabama tracts on September 30, 2025 at the BLM Eastern States Office in Falls Church, Virginia.

In addition to Alabama, the Department of the Interior also announced lease sales in Emery County, Utah and Big Horn County, Montana.
