Business and labor don’t always agree. On permitting reform, they do.
The heads of @PAChamber and @420Steamfitters are urging Congress to pass the bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act.
We agree. It’s time for America to build again. bit.ly/4By6Pi6
We agree that BAAJA will benefit our whole economy. It's great to see business and labor coming together to support it.

Permitting reform means real savings for American families. New @CEA47 data shows that passing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would deliver annual savings for the average household through:
➡️ $306–$637 in higher real wages
➡️ $178–$251 in lower electricity bills
➡️ $125–$176 in reduced other expenses
Let’s pass BAAJA and put this money back in Americans’ wallets.

“The timing is right.” Natural Resources Chairman @RepWesterman joins @ThomasHochman and @ppavnr on Right of Way to break down the Senate’s permitting deal and why passing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is critical.
“When we create a system that works, we will actually promote a healthier, safer environment, and we’ll see the economy grow.”

Permitting reform is a decade in the making, and champions like @SenMikeLee, @SenCapito, @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse are ready to finish it.
@jharrell: they know “this is what’s good for the country and what will let America build.”

Leaders from Democratic and Republican presidential administrations are calling on Congress to pass BAAJA. This bill is the best proposal we’ve ever had to fix our broken permitting system, fight climate change, lower costs, create jobs, and keep data center costs off of our electricity bills. This letter is an encouraging sign. A 🧵

According to new data from @McKinsey, West Virginia has $22.3 BILLION in investments tied up in the federal permitting system right now. These investments represent projects that would deliver reliable roads and bridges, modernized drinking water infrastructure, expanded broadband access, and more.
It’s time to pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act so West Virginians can finally benefit from the improvements these projects would bring to their daily lives.

The U.S. needs a permitting system that can keep pace with growing energy demand. IPAA and the Natural Gas Council support commonsense permitting reform to provide certainty for critical infrastructure investment and energy development. Read our letter to Senate leaders here:

A major permitting reform bill has been introduced in the Senate. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) was drafted by a group of Senate committee leaders: @SenCapito (R-W.V.), @SenWhitehouse (D-R.I.), @SenMikeLee (R-Utah) and @SenatorHeinrich (D-N.M.). nahb.org/blog/2026/10/senate…

We’re proud to join this important advocacy effort.
"America cannot meet rising demand, strengthen domestic manufacturing, or maintain affordability of energy and other essential products if it cannot build the infrastructure those goals require," the organizations wrote.

Across Alaska, I’m hearing the same message loud and clear: our outdated permitting system is stifling our state’s potential.
The bipartisan permitting reform package is a top priority for our state. It will lower costs, give industry the stability needed to invest and grow, and remove burdensome barriers while protecting the integrity and original intent of our laws.
The Senate must act swiftly when we return in November.
U.S. Senate EPW Committee GOP retweeted
The bipartisan permitting bill will unlock critical infrastructure projects – from roads & bridges to energy, water systems and broadband.
As a member of the EPW Committee, I commend @SenCapito for her leadership to build consensus and advance these critical reforms. #BAAJA

Federal permitting delays are holding back West Virginia’s economy. A new @McKinsey report finds that the value of projects in West Virginia entering the federal permitting process annually is equivalent to 4.1% of our state’s total GDP. That’s the fifth-highest percentage out of all fifty states.
We can’t afford to let an outdated permitting system continue to block economic growth in our state. It’s time to get the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act signed into law.

The stakes of permitting reform are enormous. According to new data from @McKinsey, $1.8 TRILLION in projects is currently held up in the federal permitting system, representing over $3 TRILLION in total economic impact nationwide. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act will get projects moving so local economies can grow and Americans can get to work.

We joined @CEBAPower, @SEIA, @AdvEnergyUnited, and @ACORE to deliver a simple message to Congress: pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 (BAAJA).
With 350+ GW of clean energy ready to meet rising electricity demand, bipartisan permitting reform can unlock transmission investment, create jobs, and strengthen America’s energy future. Negotiators have reached an agreement. Now Congress must follow through.
