Nothing says you want to remove bureaucracy to unleash American energy dominance quite like adding bureaucracy to hobble American energy dominance.

For the #ArcticRefuge, even the oil and gas industry gets it: "There are some places too special and sacred to exploit with oil and gas drilling." Well said, Laura Daniel-Davis, #2 at the Interior Dept.

Curious to know more about what the Biden-Harris Administration has done for the economy? Read on ... 1/

Nana--the Alaska Native corporation that had been advocating for building the Ambler Road through 200 miles of untouched wilderness in the Brooks Range--is pulling out. This is big news.

@BerkeleyLabEMP just released a survey of utility-scale solar and wind developers on community engagement and opposition, and the results are fascinating 🧵 https://t.co/fJsyETBOji

Conceiving and setting up this Tribal "buy-back" effort as part of the Cobell settlement package that we negotiated with DOJ and the Congress was a highlight of my time at @Interior. So grateful for the Tribes and DOI leaders who made it happen!

David Uhlmann will be a GREAT enforcement head at EPA who will fairly but firmly ensure accountability for companies that violate our #environmental laws. He should have been confirmed long ago, but is sure to make up for lost time. @LFFriedman

This is a big deal. When evaluating major federal actions, impacts on nature--pro & con--have largely been ignored b/c it's hard to quantify those impacts in $$ terms. Now the @WhiteHouse is looking to give #nature a seat at the #costbenefit table. Yay!

We’re growing roots in urban spaces! Today, we are launching our #GreeningAmericasCities initiative – a $400M commitment to equitable urban greening in communities across the U.S. → https://t.co/DdLwLGpDYC.

Strengthening bldg codes is the smartest investment in #climate #resilience going. @Energy is helping communities understand the stakes but states and locals need to act. Rebuilding to lousy codes means wasted taxpayer $$ and lives unnecessarily lost.

New report from @StanfordLaw & @BezosEarthFund on #climate-smart #forestry, with a blueprint for improved #GHG measurement & monitoring & development of a public "data commons" to share learnings on GHG reductions & removals. @ajarviscali @stanforddoerr https://t.co/VXnrLTVTjY

Welcome to CA, @POTUS! ☀️🌊 Yesterday the President announced #climate investments that will help us build coastal projects & grid resilience. Together with @CAgovernor #CAleg historic climate budget, we will protect communities & reduce carbon pollution!

.@Interior is using the #NEPA process to provide more environmental analysis and public input before the proposed deal becomes final. This is the way business should be done for a river on which 35+ billion Americans depend for water. 3/

Congress has given @Interior several billion to address the drought in the Basin. In the proposed deal, DOI is holding back most of the $$ for long-term water conservation--as it should. And in the short-term, it is requiring substantial uncompensated cuts by both CA & AZ. 2/

Why this #ColoradoRiver water deal is important. 🧵 First, California & Arizona have diametrically opposing views of how to apportion needed water supply cuts in Lower Basin in the face of #climatechange. Getting to yes on cuts is hard & necessary.

Feds took 17 yrs to permit the #SunZia transmission line? No. Application was filed in 2008; BLM completed the EIS & ROW in 2013 & 2015. Owner requested major route change in 2021. Supplemental EIS and ROW was completed 2 yrs later thru FAST-41 process.

Remarkable @HUDgov announcement melds together the Administration's major #climate, #cleanenergy and #EnvironmentalJustice themes. It's all here: #Resilience #EnergyEfficiency #LowCarbonMaterials #BuildingCodes and more.

This is a big win for #climate. #Methane is both safety risk & a potent climate pollutant. @PHMSA_DOT's rule will extend leak detection & repair req'ts to 2.7 million miles of gas pipelines; 400+ underground natural gas storage facilities; and 165 LNG facilities.

"The nation’s transmission lines also are broken up into regional grids that operate like jealous petty potentates..." https://t.co/jW22BZ1w8L

It's discouraging to see partisans target the clean energy incentives that already have triggered $200 billion in private investment. We have a clear choice: economic growth & innovation that combats #climatechange or doubling down on #fossilfuels.
