Sen. Cramer Stresses the Importance of Supporting Reliable Energy on a Tour of Project Tundra's Test Well

Press Release

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee member, participated in a tour of the Project Tundra test well with Senator John Hoeven and Representative Kelly Armstrong today, where he highlighted the great potential of this project and emphasized the importance of producing reliable energy in America. This follows the coal producer roundtable Senators Cramer and Hoeven hosted this week with Energy Secretary Brouillette, as well as Senator Cramer's work this year to advance the 45Q carbon capture tax credit.

"Once again, North Dakota is leading the way. Through this carbon capture technology, Project Tundra is ground zero for the future of reliable energy production in this country," said Senator Cramer. "As Energy Secretary Brouillette outlined in Minot this week, reliable energy sources like coal keep the lights on when others cannot. They are an indispensable part of President Trump's energy dominance agenda, and we are committed to supporting them and advancing tools like the 45Q tax credit to ensure projects like this keep moving forward."

"We were happy to host Senator Cramer at the test well facility to show him the great progress we've made with Project Tundra," said Mac McLennan, President and CEO of Minnkota Power Cooperative. "That progress wouldn't have happened without his and the North Dakota Congressional delegation's tremendous support and commitment to making our state a leader in energy technology development."
