Support H.R. 2746, the American Renewable Energy and Efficiency Act, which would set a national renewable portfolio standard. Oppose H.R. 4239, the SECURE American Energy Act, which transfers management authority for permitting of federal oil and gas resources to states, encourages offshore oil drilling, and weakens protections for marine mammals. Oppose H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017, which would roll back public health and environmental protections with respect to the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage site. Oppose HR 4606, Ensuring Small Scale LNG Certainty and Access Act, which would make it easier for oil and gas companies to take private land by eminent domain and increase air and water pollution.
