What exactly was last night's cloture vote on #BAAJA, and what's next for permitting reform? API's head of Federal Relations, Kristin Whitman, explains.

Energy Citizens are speaking up: We need permitting reform now. Congress has a bipartisan opportunity with BAAJA to cut costly delays and help keep energy reliable and affordable. Let’s not miss it. Pass BAAJA.

The Senate’s vote to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act puts comprehensive permitting reform within reach. A major win for American energy, American jobs and the infrastructure our country needs. #BAAJA
Tonight’s bipartisan Senate vote marks important progress toward modernizing America’s permitting system and addressing the nation’s affordability challenges. Lawmakers from both parties have worked for more than a year to reach this point. BAAJA would help reduce delays, give critical energy projects the certainty they need and lower costs for Americans. Congress should build on tonight’s momentum, finish the job and send this bipartisan legislation to the President’s desk this year.

Getting energy projects moving starts with understanding what’s holding them back. Our Energy 101 guide explains permitting delays, what reform could mean for your energy affordability, and how you can help push for progress. See why reform matters: energycitizens.org/energy-10…

A stronger economy starts with smarter permitting  📈 An @ICF analysis commissioned by API found permitting reform could support nearly $24 billion in tax revenue by 2030.

Americans are feeling higher fuel prices, especially diesel. Restricting U.S. diesel exports may sound like a quick fix, but it risks making this situation far worse. This crisis began with a choke point. We can’t fix it by creating another one.

A diesel export ban won’t help fix rising fuel prices. Here’s why. 👇🧵

Banning diesel exports won’t fix rising prices. It could just make them worse. API’s @T_Mason_H walks through the economics of getting this wrong.

Americans are hurting from rising diesel prices, and policymakers are understandably searching for answers. But restricting U.S. diesel exports would make the problem worse, not better — for consumers, farmers and the broader U.S. economy.

Diesel is a global market facing a global shortage. As @GasBuddyGuy explains, a U.S. export ban could make things worse, not better.
The U.S. isn't short of diesel. The world is. So would banning U.S. diesel exports actually lower prices? It might sound like an easy fix. But once you look at refinery economics and how fuel actually moves, the answer gets complicated. Here's why:

The Hoover Dam took just four years to build. Today, major energy projects can take a decade or longer. America is ready to build. It’s time for Congress to pass comprehensive, bipartisan permitting reform.

Energy policy can get complicated fast, but understanding how it impacts you shouldn’t have to be. Energy 101 breaks down key issues in a simple Q&A format, so you can see what they mean for you, your community, and the energy industry. Learn more: energycitizens.org/energy-10…

One of the most exciting moments at the API Inspection & Mechanical Integrity Summit wasn’t just seeing students put on a VR headset. It was watching them step into a career they may have never known existed. Experiences like this help students move beyond simply hearing about careers to actually engaging with them. Whether through virtual reality, conversations with industry professionals, hands-on demonstrations, or exploring the exhibit hall, every interaction expands what’s possible in a young person’s mind. That’s why we do what we do. Because girls can’t pursue careers they don’t know exist. A huge thank you to Energy Citizens for providing this incredible virtual reality experience and helping inspire the next generation of women in industry. 🩷 Support Starts Early. Success Lasts Generations. #ThisOnesForTheGals #InspectionSummit26
