I have tremendous respect for the two Democratic Senators who have negotiated the permitting bill with two of their Republican colleagues — a bill that Congress is considering for passage during the lame duck session. I sincerely and respectfully urge the Democratic sponsors of the bill to reconsider their decision to move forward with this legislation. There’s no doubt that we need to reform the way that clean energy projects are reviewed and permitted. But as it currently stands, the bill would be an extremely serious mistake, in my opinion, and would do far more harm than good. Given how this Administration has run roughshod over the environmental laws and protections that are currently in place, now is not the time to give the Trump administration freer rein to double down on fossil fuels — which is what President Trump would surely do. And after last week’s historic election, we will have a new Congress in January that can strike a far better balance.

Regarding #BAAJA
WERE ANY TRIBAL, ENVIRONMENTAL OR ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPERTS EVEN CONSULTED WHEN DRAFTING BAAJA?!?
All I’m seeing is shareholder and PAC support, with no consideration for what’s being cut- ie EPA and NHPA regulations.

Voters just handed Democrats a clear mandate to stop predatory data centers.
BAAJA does the opposite: it helps tech billionaires ram their projects through by taking away our right to say “no.”

This is not affordability. This is a land grab by Mike Lee.. he’s been trying to get our protected national monuments since 2016. This is devastating for the environment, offers no oversight, states can’t reject data-centers or extraction.. & we don’t want either.
Water is life.

This is absurd and dangerous. These lands belong to us all, not just the rich and powerful. I’m working on legislation right now to put a stop to this.
Hands off our public lands.
Secretary Doug Burgum, I’m looking at you.

🚨#NewYork deserves answers.
@SenSchumer and @SenGillibrand voted to advance the permitting bill.
We delivered letters raising concerns about threats to wildlife protections. Those warnings are on the record.
Affordability must not become a Trojan horse for weakening the ESA.

FOLKS: HE'S TELLING YOU WHAT I'VE BEEN WARNING ABOUT FOR WEEKS. BAAJA IS NOT AN END TO HIS WAR ON CLEAN ENERGY - IT'S A COUP FOR HIS FOSSIL FUEL AGENDA, AND A HEAD FAKE FOR DEMS GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HE WILL SOMEHOW START PERMITTING RENEWABLES. WAKE UP!

Just a thought, @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhiteHouse I saw that y'all noted you'd be relying on Dept. of Interior to act legally and responsibly. Have y'all be in a coma the past two years? Stop and do it right.

Days After Midterm Blowout, 22 Democrats Join GOP to Advance 'Massive Giveaway' to Big Oil.
"It’s exactly what the fossil fuel industry wants," one critic said of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. This is big business making money raping our natural resources.

Having read more about the Bipartisan Affordability And Jobs Act (BAAJA) I oppose it. Links below. I sent this to @senadamschiff and @alexpadilla4ca via Resistbot text at 50409. You can call your Senators at 202-224-3121. You can sign the statement below as a petition by texting PINBKA to 50409
🧵Debate will start today on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA). It is perhaps the most important bill you have heard nothing about. It is bipartisan, introduced in the Senate by Sens. Whitehouse (D-RI), Heinrich (D-NM), Moore Capito (R-WV), & Lee (R-UT). Current House Speaker Johnson (R-LA) says he supports it.
Basically, it is an effort to accelerate electrical grid infrastructure buildout/improvement while getting fair buyin from AI data centers.
Summary of @SenatorHeinrich & @SenWhitehouse views attached

Every major environmental group is against this bill. What’s the rush? Why not do a better bill in the new Congress?

Those democrats that voted for a bill that destroys land, natural resources and adds more unwanted data centers while making it harder to end Trump admin big greedy business on public land need to answer to the voters who worked so hard for the common good in this last election.

Senator Chuck Schumer just voted to advance the BAAJA bill, which would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act while harming Indigenous communities.
In case you wanted another reason why he should not be the Majority Senate Leader.
