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.
It shouldn't take longer to permit a project than to build it. @RodneyDavis breaks down why Congress must act on permitting reform and why now's the moment for Congress to pass the Bipartisan America Affordability & Jobs Act of 2026 this fall.
🎥 Watch below.
More than $1 trillion in infrastructure investment is tied up in federal permitting.
@SenArmstrong told ClearPath’s Head of Policy Lisa Epifani and @AspenInstitute why modernized permitting will unleash capital to let America build.
House Republicans laid the foundation for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, with more than 15 House-sponsored bills included in whole or in part.
@SenArmstrong credited that work in a conversation with ClearPath’s Head of Policy Lisa Epifani hosted by @AspenInstitute 👇
Over $70 billion in projects are currently in the @EximBankUS pipeline. A reauthorized and modernized EXIM will help the US win against China and sell American energy technology globally.
@SenKevinCramer makes the case 👇
Reauthorizing and modernizing EXIM will supercharge one of America’s most powerful tools to strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness and energy leadership at a time when aggressive, pro-energy development is needed on the global stage — and is being provided by our greatest adversary. Read my @thehill op-ed on unleashing EXIM to outcompete China.

Permitting reform is a decade in the making, and champions like @SenMikeLee, @SenCapito, @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse are ready to finish it.
@jharrell: they know “this is what’s good for the country and what will let America build.”
The Bipartisan American 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Every energy source, from nuclear to transmission faces one bottleneck: an outdated permitting system.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.
