America has an opportunity to lead the world in clean energy innovation.
At ClearPath, we’re making that possible by equipping policymakers with real solutions that accelerate American innovation to secure a stronger, cleaner future built in America.

The Bipartisan Affordability and Jobs Act sets deadlines on permitting reviews while keeping environmental protections in place.
@SenArmstrong made the case for that balance in a fireside chat with ClearPath’s Head of Policy Lisa Epifani at @AspenInstitute’s #AspenIdeasEconomy in Tulsa, OK.
Every energy source, from nuclear to transmission faces one bottleneck: an outdated permitting system. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act creates one set of rules so every technology gets built.
Nevada’s Dixie Meadows geothermal plant waited more than five years for federal approval, then stalled in court. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act sets enforceable review deadlines and protects approved permits.
Rising demand means America has to build more, fast. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act sets a framework that modernizes how America permits energy projects, while states and Tribes keep defined roles.
@jharrell breaks down how the package fits together 👇
Parts of more than 15 House-passed bills made it into the Bipartisan Affordability and Jobs act.
@jharrell on why it’s “built for this moment” ➡️ rising demand, affordability pressure and a need for new generation and infrastructure.
Permit certainty only works if it has teeth. The Senate’s bipartisan permitting deal tightens deadlines, spells out the recourse if agencies miss them and builds directly on @RepWesterman’s SPEED Act.
@jharrell: “It can really enable our country to build more.”
Global electricity investment reached $1.5 trillion in 2025, and 86% of energy capital spending through 2035 is projected to happen outside the U.S.
@SilveradoPolicy's new report lays out how U.S. energy can meet that demand 👇
U.S. electricity-sector firms are being locked out of a growing $1.5T global market by subsidized Chinese pricing, overcapacity, localization requirements, and massive state-backed financing. Our new report examines these barriers and proposes policy solutions.
Review deadlines mean nothing if they are not enforceable. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act sets clear and enforceable deadlines so American energy gets built.
Right now, lawsuits can be filed up to six years after a project is approved. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act sets a 150-day deadline for legal challenges and sends errors back to the agency to fix rather than voiding the permit.
For America to win we have to build.
Today at 1pm, @jharrell joins @BPC_bipartisan to discuss what the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act + modernized permitting means for America 👇

Energy projects take an average of five years to get a permit.
The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act changes that. On Friday, @jharrell joins @BPC_Bipartisan to break down how the bill will let America Build 👇

SunZia transmission line = 17 years
TransWest Express transmission line = 16 years
Mountain Valley Pipeline = 9 years
America needs clear & enforceable permitting timelines to get projects built. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act makes it happen.
The energy projects America needs shouldn't sit in limbo for years. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act sets clear deadlines for reviews that get projects moving and energy built.
America can't build when lawsuits add years to the permitting process. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act sets a 150-day deadline for legal challenges and ensures once a project is permitted it stays permitted.
America's permitting process takes 5 years on average, delays that cost $100 - $140 billon per year. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act changes that.
Proud to introduce the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026.
This landmark legislation will reform federal environmental permitting and review processes to expand reliable energy and infrastructure, create good-paying jobs, and lower costs for Americans.

More than $1 trillion in energy infrastructure is stuck behind outdated permitting rules.
The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act modernizes the process to set deadlines, clear the way for new transmission and get more affordable, reliable power on the grid for American consumers
