Includes whereas clauses. Urges federal legislators to enact legislation that reforms federal permitting and environmental review processes to promote economic and environmental stewardship by expediting the deployment of modern energy infrastructure. Urges that the reforms allow faster and lower cost construction of energy infrastructure including considering steps to (1) limit excessive use of judicial processes to slow projects inappropriately, (2) prevent inappropriate usage of the Clean Water Act and other laws to hamstring the lawful building of linear energy infrastructure, (3) enact reforms to plan, permit, and pay for the necessary build-out of electricity transmission infrastructure to support a more reliable energy grid that lowers costs for consumers and businesses, and (4) enable the domestic build-out of the full array of modern energy technologies, including nuclear, emissions management, hydrogen, critical mineral mining and processing, and all other needs for a modern energy system. States that the reforms should strive to ensure accountability for federal agencies conducting permitting and environmental review processes, including specified measures, and be accompanied by a redoubling of efforts to streamline federal regulations to support the efficient building of new energy infrastructure. States the belief that failure to act to update our federal permitting system to support building new energy infrastructure will further harm consumers, workers, and businesses, while making the US less competitive and more vulnerable to both foreign adversaries and domestic outages.
URGE CONGRESS.
