Stressing with policymakers the implications of proposed Executive Branch requirements (NEPA, GHG, climate adaptation, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, federal land management policies, etc.) -- that hamper energy and natural resource development projects across the West -- on the nation's energy and economic security. Support for various reform efforts to constrain regulatory overreach (listed under relevant issue pages of this report). 6. Educating policymakers on the need to focus on policies that encourage development of the nation's full range of "clean energy" resources/supporting technologies, including hydropower. 7.

Legislation supported: H.R. 1287, H.R. 2016, H.R. 1719, H.R. 3407, H.R. 3408, H.R. 3410, S. 706, S. 629, S. 631. 2. Educating policymakers on the need to strengthen and expand the nation's electric transmission system. (Continued) 3. Educating policymakers on the cumulative negative consequences of the growing body of regulations being instituted that impact the nation's electric generation fleet's reliability and which inflict growing costs on consumers (discussed in Air, Waste and Water pages of this report). 4. Educating policymakers on the nexus between a robust energy policy and a strong minerals policy. Particular emphasis has been on critical minerals and their importance as inputs to a vast array of clean energy, electronics, high tech and defense applications. Past activities have included providing input for S. 1113 and support for H.R. 2011. 5. Stressing with policymakers the implications of proposed Executive Branch requirements (NEPA, GHG, climate adaptation, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, federal land management policies, etc.) -- that hamper energy and natural resource development projects throughout the West -- on the nation's energy and economic security. Support for various reform efforts to constrain regulatory overreach (listed under relevant issue pages of this report.) 6. Educating policymakers on the need to focus on policies that encourage devleopment of the nation's full range of "clean energy" resources / supporting technologies, including hydropower. 7.
