Manufacturers' Priorities
-
1Produce comprehensive reforms to our permitting system that expedite all projects, including bringing on new and traditional energy sources.
-
2Remove regulatory barriers that slow access to the rich diversity of domestic energy, minerals and other natural resources to strengthen the energy advantage of manufacturers in the U.S.
-
3Repair the broken permitting process for energy and resources projects to minimize delays and reduce litigation.
-
4Support measures to enhance the domestic deployment of energy-efficient technologies in the public and private sectors and support their deployment globally.
-
5Expedite the legal and regulatory processes for exporting energy technologies and promoting trade in energy and environmental goods.
-
6Provide for a reliable, modern electric grid that ensures manufacturers can access reliable, affordable energy when they need it, even as policies and markets change.
-
7Support domestic critical mineral extraction, processing and global supply chain diversification that advances opportunities for new nearshore and onshore operations.
-
8Expand the useful lifecycle of critical mineral components with federal programs and funds that bring the best technologies to the market and facilitate sustainable processing and recycling methods.
-
9Increase additional energy infrastructure to allow the country to transport commodities with greater efficiency and safety—and to pave the way for a hydrogen-friendly energy future.
