Democrats were given a clear mandate to lower costs for working families.
Permitting reform is a critical part of delivering on that promise, and I stand ready to work with my colleagues in Congress to get a deal done that meets that need.

Thrilled to welcome our LARGEST freshman class of New Dems EVER!
Let’s get to work!

Fourth, waiting for a hypothetical better deal around the corner is how we've gotten this far behind in the first place. We need to act NOW. We can build on this and keep making improvements from our new position of strength, while we get started building transmission;

NABTU yesterday, IBEW today — this is progress.
I look forward to continuing to work together on improving this bill and delivering on the affordability agenda the American people are demanding.
SCOOP: @IBEW, whose members align with utilities, is endorsing the Senate's bipartisan permitting reform bill.

On the day we introduced BAAJA, I wore my dad’s 60-year @IBEW pin. My father, Pete Heinrich, spent six decades keeping the lights on for his community.
Today, I'm proud to have IBEW’s support for our permitting reform bill.
We need to build big things in America again.
“The IBEW strongly supports the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act... As the world’s largest energy union, I’m encouraged that the bill benefits our members that build, operate, and maintain the electric grid and the energy that powers it." bit.ly/3WvYtaT

Must watch: Meet Chuck Hubbard, who is set to defeat Virginia Foxx in a safe Trump +18 district in North Carolina.
Just a normal guy, he decided to run for office to stand up for his LGBTQ daughter and defend her rights in Trump’s America.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse showing a united front with Heinrich post-election to get this done in lame duck, saying "we'd be fools to not to take" the deal.
"It’s a bird in the hand. We’d be fools not to take it."

The voters are sending a clear message tonight:
It's time to pass permitting reform.

So the response is to do nothing, not attempt any sort of guardrails, and wait out his presidency—thereby jeopardizing any number of clean energy projects in the meantime?
This, my friends, is surrender.
Scoop in @PunchbowlNews AM: 4 Senate Democrats led by @SenDuckworth are pushing back on the bipartisan permitting reform bill, arguing it will further enable Trump to favor fossil fuel projects and won’t stop its attacks on clean energy. Merkley, Markey, Wyden join new letter

Okay thank you, @JaneAFlegal. Let's talk BAAJA & geothermal. If you want clean, affordable, baseload power and you want it fast, enhanced geothermal is your technology. If you want to unlock the Geothermal Decade even faster, BAAJA is your bill. 🧵
