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 resources. Legislation supported in the 113th Congress: S. 17. 2. Educating policymakers on the need to focus attention on policies that encourage development of the nation's full range of "clean2.

1. Stressing the implications of the proposed Executive Branch requirements (NEPA, GHG, CAA, CWA, climate adaptation, federal land management policies, ESA listings, national ocean policy, etc.) that hamper energy and natural resource development projects across the West. 2. Continued emphasis on responsible development of the nation's domestic energy and mineral resources.3. Supporting ESA reform to make the statute work better for the regulated community and to result in improved recovery rates for threatened and endangered species. 4. Opposition to proposals that project-specific NEPA reviews be expanded to include life-cycle cumulative impact analyses (including impacts of use of ultimate products' use by consumers abroad). Includes opposition to effort by EPA and allies to use such a technique to stymie exports of specific Western commodities. 5. Educating policymakers on the need for a robust domestic minerals policy to support U.S. economic, energy and national security interests. Activities in the 113th Congress include support for H.R. 761.

1. Opposition to the DOI/USDA policies that seek to unilaterally change -- through administrative fiat -- the designation/multiple use of millions of acres of Western federal lands (through land withdrawals, roadless policies, climate adaptation policies, critical habitat designations and other restrictive regulations). Activities include onoing support for various reform initiatives, including: H.R. 1581, H.R. 4716, H.R. 758, H.R. 302, H.R. 817, H.R. 846, H.R. 3147, H.R. 4965, S. 224, S. 1097 and related amendments to 1.

Educating policymakers on the impacts of the Executive Branch's efforts to establish "projected future climate impacts-related species vulnerabilities" as justification for a whole new range of regulatory actions/authority by agencies across the federal government. Included: discussions of the CEQ proposal to insert "future climate impacts" as a required part of analysis under NEPA; FWS' use as a rationale for expansion of critical habitat designations under ESA; use by the USFS in interpretation/implementation of revised Forest Planning Rule. 6.
