Always a pleasure to join the annual @WVSociety West Virginia Day celebration in our nation’s capital. Such a special opportunity to celebrate our pride in the Mountain State and a beautiful reminder of how blessed we are to live in such an amazing place.
Today at State of Steel @NucorCorp Chair & CEO, Leon Topalian, highlighted the importance of steel to our nation and its economy. Nucor is making historic investments that will strengthen the industry for years to come.
Happy West Virginia Day!
Today we celebrate 163 years of our wild and wonderful history and our proud West Virginia spirit. Wherever you are across our great state, I encourage you to celebrate our rich heritage and resilient communities that make the Mountain State truly "Almost Heaven."
To truly secure America’s energy future, we must strengthen every tier of the power generation supply chain, from critical raw materials to transmission, distribution and advanced systems that keep our grid resilient. #SMAPlanForAmericanPower
Strategic federal investment to strengthen our electricity supply is essential both to address the current energy shortfall and to safeguard America’s national and economic security. #SMAPlanForAmericanPower
The United States cannot afford to lose available generation capacity. Keeping existing resources online is an urgent priority as we expand and modernize the nation’s energy fleet to meet rising demand. #SMAPlanForAmericanPower
To meet America's surging power demand and support economic growth, we must accelerate permitting to bring critical energy projects online faster. #SMAPlanForAmericanPower
Thank you @HouseGOP & @RepLisaMcClain for inviting SMA to connect with district directors. We appreciate the opportunity to showcase the vital role steelmakers play in strengthening communities and driving economic growth across the United States.
NHPA Section 106 reforms should be on the table as part of robust permitting reform and kudos to @EnergyGOP Chair @SenMikeLee for looking at it.
@SMA_Steel sent recommendations to the Committee as part of the referenced hearing:
- Align NHPA trigger with "major federal action"
- Refine the scope of "area of potential effects"
- Consider impacts with direct effects
- Establish consultation timelines
- Prescribe limits to judicial review

NEW: Debate over preservation law trips up permitting talks. Senate ENR Chair Mike Lee’s push to overhaul the National Historic Preservation Act is a new major sticking point. But some Dems say NHPA needs change for stalling clean energy projects https://t.co/XdeYpTrAVb

A strong national defense starts with a strong industrial base. Steel manufacturers support the FY2027 NDAA and its key provisions that encourage the use of domestic materials, expand U.S. shipbuilding capacity and reinforce America's industrial strength. @HASCRepublicans@HASCDemocrats
.@POTUS and @SenateGOP are bringing manufacturing home—rebuilding Americas industrial base one step at a time. After years of policies driving American jobs offshore, it’s time to put American workers first.
