As electricity demand grows and energy policy becomes increasingly polarized, we have refocused our work to better meet the moment.

Our 2025 Impact Report highlights these changes and provides an overview of our strategy moving forward.

"It will decrease gas capacity by 16%, all against a 2035 baseline."

@SenWhitehouse on how BAAJA is a win for climate.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

From a political standpoint, we can’t afford to lose this momentum.

Robust change demands a bipartisan coalition, and after Tuesday’s crushing losses, Republicans are motivated to take a deal that will grow clean energy buildout and help our climate.

Let’s get it done.

This is the first advanced reactor CP for an industrial end user.

Public-private partnerships are essential to getting these FOAK projects over the finish line. We can’t let our foot off the gas.

[Atoms Not Bits @AtomsNotBits]

BREAKING: Reindustrialization goes nuclear. America approves its first advanced nuclear facility at an industrial site, a major Dow chemical manufacturing plant in Texas.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved a construction permit for four X-energy Xe-100 reactors, designed to supply both electricity and high-temperature steam to Dow’s chemical manufacturing operations. Chemical production is traditionally a very energy-intensive process, requiring large amounts of electricity and heat.

This marks the first U.S. construction permit for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nearly 60 years.

"It's the lightest metal you can find."

@JigarShahDC and Raef Sully on what lithium is and how it goes from mines to consumer products.

“This is an affordability bill — it’s right there in the name — and Democrats just won an affordability election.”

Congress shouldn’t waste momentum. We can actually get shit done in the lame duck and set the new Congress up for success.

Pass permitting reform and move the ball forward for clean energy.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

Permitting reform is sexy to us, @alivitali!

Let's get BAAJA over the finish line for clean energy buildout.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

THIRD WAY STATEMENT ON BAAJA'S SUCCESSFUL CLOTURE VOTE:

It’s more important than ever to pass permitting reform this year. The overwhelming support for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act reflects the Senate’s commitment to addressing the nation's energy affordability challenges.

We thank the negotiators for their commitment to improving the text through the manager’s amendment.

Waiting until the 120th Congress would only delay the savings voters are asking for, and any future legislation will still require bipartisan support. We encourage this Congress to pass federal permitting reform and secure America’s energy and economic future.

[Josh Freed @jsfreed]

So proud that @ThirdWayEnergy could support @SenWhitehouse and @SenatorHeinrich efforts to pass BAAJA, which will finally upend a status quo and speed clean energy, storage, and transmission onto the grid and make data centers pay for the energy they use.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

Lower costs. Good-paying jobs. Data center accountability. Cleaner air, healthier communities.

Let's get BAAJA over the finish line.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

Read our letter to @EPWGOP and @EPWCmte endorsing BAAJA.

[Joshua Siegel @SiegelScribe]

A broad coalition of energy, tech, manufacturing, labor and greens are making an affordability pitch in a support letter organized by @C2ES_org, @ThirdWayTweet, @CeresNews that says the bill “will benefit consumers, our economy and the climate.” https://t.co/WCh8wpQEkU

[Josh Freed @jsfreed]

Fastest way to return Texas, SC, MS, KS, IA, OH, AK and other newly blue states red is to listen to Sunrise. Voters want change. That starts tomorrow w permitting reform that makes data centers pay and unlocks 2000GW of RE+storage stuck in queue.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

NABTU yesterday, IBEW today — this is progress.

I look forward to continuing to work together on improving this bill and delivering on the affordability agenda the American people are demanding.

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

"Americans want more affordable, reliable energy, and they see the value in legislation that could help deliver it," Third Way's @MarySagatelova and Ryan Fitzpatrick tell @AlexCKaufman about support for BAAJA.

[Mary Sagatelova @MarySagatelova]

It isn’t that complicated! Voters are stressed about their electric bills, Democrats spent the whole campaign talking about affordability, and here’s a bill that’s popular and built to bring costs down. Time to bring it home.

[Mary Sagatelova @MarySagatelova]

turns out voters really like the idea of building things faster!

[Third Way Climate & Energy @ThirdWayEnergy]

BAAJA has broad bipartisan appeal.

Even after hearing arguments against it, 66% of voters still support the permitting reform bill.

[Josh Freed @jsfreed]

New! @AlexCKaufman covers @ThirdWayEnergy polling in @heatmap_news that shows Americans BACK permitting reform to deliver more electricity much faster. Americans voted for CHANGE this week. Congress can start delivering with this deal. https://t.co/99tK1ihD0F
