Today, Thursday, February 6, 2025 (10:00 AM ET - 2:00 PM ET), Congress is holding a critical hearing: “Now Ore Never: The Importance of Domestic Mining for U.S. National Security.”

Right now, America is falling behind in the global race for critical minerals—resources essential for our energy, defense, and technology industries.

Yet, despite having vast mineral reserves, permitting delays averaging 29 years prevent the U.S. from competing on the world stage.

What’s at stake?

• National Security – The U.S. relies on China for over 50+ critical minerals, including those vital for defense technology
  
• Energy Independence – Our grid and future innovations depend on domestic mining
  
• Job Growth – Red tape blocks new mining projects, costing American workers
  
  

  Key themes expected in tomorrow’s testimony:

• The role of permitting reform in securing America’s energy future
  
• The economic risks of relying on foreign adversaries for minerals
  
• Solutions to streamline regulations and accelerate responsible mining
