<[link removed]> ConservAmerica Sends Letter to Senators in Support of Permitting Reform May 11, 2023 This morning, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee conducted a hearing on opportunities for Congress to reform the permitting process for energy and mineral projects. We commend the committee for its work on this crucial issue. In conjunction with the hearing, ConservAmerica sent a letter <[link removed]> to Chairman Joe Manchin and Ranking Member John Barrasso in support of meaningful legislation to reform and modernize our nation’s permitting process. The letter <[link removed]> , which was also copied to Chairman Tom Carper and Ranking Member Shelly Moore Capito, of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, states, in part: “America has made great strides in protecting its natural resources, expanding clean energy and manufacturing technologies, and in protecting public health and safety. Yet, many of the laws that helped pave the way for these successes were adopted nearly fifty years ago and need to be modernized to adapt to the scale and pace of today’s challenges. As it stands now, the inefficiencies and uncertainties embedded within the permitting process are thwarting economic development, limiting our ability to make environmental and infrastructure improvements, and creating unacceptable risks to public health and safety.” To read the full letter, click here. <[link removed]> ConservAmerica is a nonprofit organization that advocates for market-based solutions to conservation, environmental, and energy challenges.
