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. nytimes.com/2023/04/21/us/…

This is a big win for #climate. #Methane is both safety risk & a potent climate pollutant. PHMSA'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.

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.

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. washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

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 The White House is looking to give #nature a seat at the #costbenefit table. Yay! whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

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. Lisa Friedman nytimes.com/2023/08/17/cli…

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 US Department of the Interior. So grateful for the Tribes and DOI leaders who made it happen! content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDOI…

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. arctictoday.com/alaska-native-…

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. nytimes.com/2025/01/08/cli…

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