ACORE Applauds Bipartisan Energy Permitting Reform Legislation

July 22, 2024

Following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):

“America’s burdensome permitting process has for years held back clean energy and transmission projects that are vital to our nation’s electricity future. Virtually no interregional transmission lines have been built in the last decade despite their critical importance to grid reliability. We applaud Senators Joe Manchin (I-WV) and John Barrasso (R-WY) for releasing the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, which will help reduce the permitting timelines for clean energy projects and accelerate interstate transmission in the U.S. The legislation also notably directs FERC to establish an interregional transmission planning process which ACORE has long championed.

These provisions are a positive step forward with crucial bipartisan support, and we look forward to analyzing the impacts these reforms will have on clean energy investment and growth.”

Just when we think there is a bottom, the United States sinks just a bit lower. It’s our brand nowadays.

That’s quite a left cross this thug delivered to this helpless female protestor.

It wasn’t too long ago that beating up women was taboo in America. My 11-year-old, sixth-grade son saw a male classmate of his badly bruise a girl by pushing her hard down to the ground–and proceeded to punch him in the mouth. A fellow father witnessed the scene and told me, “Your son’s fist was in that kid’s teeth within a fraction of a second.”

I had brought him up to avoid violence and achieve peaceful resolutions to conflicts, but I couldn’t fault him here.

What a disgusting bunch of turds we’ve become.

We’re starting to see intimations that stupidity like this is generated and posted by Russian data centers so as to appeal to MAGA idiots and favor the Republicans in the upcoming midterms.
