Senator Cynthia Lummis, representing Wyoming, recently used her social media platform to highlight local innovation, advocate for American energy independence, and honor a late colleague.

On July 29, 2025, Lummis praised a partnership between two companies in her home state: “The Crusoe and Tallgrass partnership represents the very best of American innovation, and it starts right here in Wyoming. Thrilled to see the Cowboy State play a pivotal role in winning the AI race.”

The following day, she addressed the broader implications of U.S. energy policy. On July 30, 2025, Lummis stated: “Unleashing American energy does not just create jobs or boost our economy; it’s one of the most important geo-political moves we can make to protect our homeland. The world needs American energy.”

Later that same day, Lummis reflected on her experiences working with former Senator Mike Enzi and Senator John Barrasso. She wrote: “Senator Mike Enzi was a great man who did amazing things for the people and state he loved. I was honored and proud to work with him and @SenJohnBarrasso to make life better for the people of Wyoming. I miss Mike Enzi every single day.”

Cynthia Lummis has been an advocate for Wyoming’s economic development through technology partnerships such as those between Crusoe Energy Systems and Tallgrass Energy. These collaborations focus on utilizing excess natural gas for powering data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Her comments on energy reflect ongoing national debates about U.S. domestic production’s impact on job creation and global security interests.

Mike Enzi served as a U.S. Senator from Wyoming from 1997 until his retirement in 2021. He was known for his bipartisan approach to legislation and dedication to public service in Wyoming.
