Jack, a recent study shows that 80 percent of the greenhouse gas reductions in the Inflation Reduction Act could be lost if the U.S. doesn’t build any new transmission lines.

Sign the petition: For clean energy access across the country, we must start here: Permitting reform.

SIGN THE PETITION
Right now “permitting reform” is a hot topic in Washington, but it has to be done right.

That means Congress must STOP new oil and gas production and start supporting clean energy transmission. That also means the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) must step up and create federal guidelines on transmission planning to ensure grid planners across the country are preparing for the clean energy future.

Sign the petition to Congress and FERC: Let’s get permitting reform right, to help the clean energy transition.

SIGN THE PETITION
To unlock the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act–including tax credits for U.S. households aimed at transitioning to cleaner energy consumption–we need to build more clean energy, faster. Failing to hasten the build-out of transmission lines needed to move more clean energy from wide open spaces to cities where people will use the energy could stall those benefits and forfeit a HUGE opportunity to curb greenhouse gasses.

Meanwhile, House Republicans continue to exacerbate the climate crisis by trying to make permitting easier for pipelines that carry harmful fossil fuels clean energy is meant to replace. The big energy bill that they passed last month, H.R. 1, will speed up oil and gas production in the worst possible way, creating loopholes and exemptions in bedrock environmental laws for big polluters.

We have a chance to do this right, right now. Join us in demanding advances towards our clean energy future.

Sign the petition to Congress and FERC: Let’s get permitting reform right, to help the clean energy transition.

Thanks for all you do,
