ClearPath believes America must lead the world in innovation over regulation…markets over mandates…providing affordable, reliable, clean energy. 🇺🇸 WATCH BELOW–

7️⃣ By updating restrictive rules, Congress can: 🇺🇸 Strengthen American manufacturing 💰 Cut infrastructure costs 🔋 Reduce import reliance 🛠️ Build smarter, cleaner and faster Learn more 👉

6️⃣ Bipartisan bills like the Concrete & Asphalt Innovation Act and IMPACT Act 2.0 would help states do exactly that.

5️⃣ The solution: ✅ Shift to performance specifications ✅ Give states flexibility to pilot new materials ✅ Use multi-year purchase commitments to provide manufacturers demand certainty

4️⃣ The challenge: restrictive rules and red tape. State DOTs often require specific material types, not performance outcomes, limiting the use of new, more durable, and lower-carbon materials.

3️⃣ U.S. innovators are stepping up: 🏗️ @amrize and @Meta partnered to develop an AI-optimized concrete mix that sped up construction time. ⚙️ Brimstone is using novel technology to develop a new way of making ordinary Portland cement from abundant local materials while

2️⃣ But there’s a problem: America faces a 50 million ton shortfall in the materials needed to make concrete. That’s half of the current consumption. Imports now fill 22% of our cement needs — up from 15% just five years ago.

1️⃣ America’s infrastructure needs are changing. By 2028, data centers alone could require 1 million tons of extra cement, accounting for 25% of office-related cement spending.

🧵 The next Highway Bill is more than a chance to fix roads, it’s an opportunity to drive American innovation. 🇺🇸 Here’s how smart policy can unlock breakthroughs in cement, concrete, and asphalt ⬇️

Critical minerals are the building blocks of clean energy innovation — powering permanent magnets, batteries, and grid technologies. @VulcanElements, @ReElementTech, @DeptofWar and @CommerceGov’s $1.4 billion push to scale U.S. rare earth capacity helps secure supply chains,

It takes 5 years on average to get a permit. That’s billions lost and projects stalled. We need to fix NEPA, modernize reviews, and cut red tape so America can build. 🇺🇸

From AI and national security to homes and factories, America needs more energy. @CnvrgStrategies' new report draws on lessons from the past century to chart a path forward to secure American energy dominance. https://t.co/Hnl4ZubdHA #PoweringtheFight

To win the AI race America needs modernized permitting. Let’s cut red tape and let America build.

America’s broken permitting system is hindering its ability to meet growing energy demand. As @RepMMM points out, we need to modernize our permitting system to win against China, meet demand and lower costs.

.@ENERGY is directing @FERC to fast-track new rules to connect data centers and other large loads faster & modernize hydropower regulations — clearing red tape that’s been throttling growth. As AI drives record power demand, these moves position the U.S. to meet surging
