“After years of discussion about the urgent need for permitting reform, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is our best opportunity in a generation to deliver meaningful reform. We applaud Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Shelley Moore Capito and Ranking Member Sheldon Whitehouse, and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Mike Lee and Ranking Member Martin Heinrich for their leadership. Our nation’s broken permitting system is a barrier not only to economic growth and American competitiveness, but also to conservation, restoration, and responsible stewardship of our natural resources. We urge the Senate to make this legislation its first order of business when it returns in November and pass it with a strong bipartisan vote.” – Jeff Kupfer, President, ConservAmerica
