For too long we’ve watched China build control & capacity while we’ve sat behind self-imposed obstacles. With reforms like H.R.4776, we can cut reliance on imports, strengthen national security & create high-paying US jobs.

The Mining Regulatory Clarity Act removes threats of withdrawals & reversals, giving projects the regulatory certainty required to spur investment. MRCA also allows the responsible use of adjacent lands crucial to modern mining.

The bipartisan SPEED Act strengthens NEPA reforms, reduces duplicative reviews, limits speculative analysis & ensures courts resolve permitting cases quickly, all critical to US energy and mineral independence.

The US holds $6 trillion in known mineral reserves, mined under the highest standards in the world. The question isn’t if we can do more at home, but whether policy is an obstacle or a catalyst for domestic mining.
