1. Educating policymakers on the need to work towards energy independence through a true "all of the above" domestic energy policy which makes responsible use of the full range of the nation's domestic energy resources. Legislation supported: H.R. 1287, H.R. 2016, H.R. 1719, H.R. 3407, H.R. 3408, H.R. 3410, H.R. 4381, H.R. 4382, H.R. 4384, S. 706, S. 629, S. 631. 2. Educating policymakers on the need to strengthen and expand the nation's electric transmission system. 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 (further discussed in the 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, health, defense, transportation and other applications. Past activities have included input for S. 1113 and support for H.R. 2011 and H.R. 4402. 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 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. Support for H.R. 1996 and S. 1061. 8. Continuing to educate policymakers on the impacts to Western energy consumers of DOE Secretary Chu's proposed shift in the mission of the federal PMAs. 9. Support for House passage of the alternative offshore drilling plan for 2012-17 (H.R. 6082). 10. Support for House passage of the "Stop the War on Coal" Act of 2012 (H.R. 3409, H.R. 910, H.R. 2401, H.R. 2273, H.R. 2018).
