ACORE Applauds SPEED Act Markup in House Natural Resources Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long following the House Committee on Natural Resources markup of the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act:
“ACORE applauds Chairman Bruce Westerman, Congressman Jared Goldman, and the House Natural Resources Committee for advancing the SPEED Act this afternoon. Durable, bipartisan permitting reforms that provide project certainty and speed up energy infrastructure build-out will help to keep the lights on and reduce electricity costs. With less than four years to add the equivalent of 15 New York Cities’ worth of electricity to the grid, it is critical that energy infrastructure projects can move forward quickly. As a compromise is worked through, project-neutral permitting, removing roadblocks to fully permitted projects, and fully funding and staffing permitting agencies will go a long way to addressing our affordability and reliability challenges and improving America’s competitiveness.”

Is our civilization’s dependence on oil “not going to change?”
Obviously, Big Oil wants to keep the status quo in place, regardless of the environmental damage it’s doing to every living creature on this planet. And the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to make sure this assault against all life forms endures in perpetuity.
But this won’t work. It may be true that the United States is rapidly transforming itself into a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and the other 50+ sovereign nations on this planet. But the rest of the developed world is working hard to decarbonize its energy and transportation sectors so as to prevent environmental collapse.
Hillsdale “College” writes:Do you suppose, for a minute, that I want some ultra-right-wing “college” to tell me how I should regard the Constitution? What a sick joke.
I don’t want to hear from the John Birch Society, nor the Heartland Institute, nor the KKK, to lecture me on the meaning of the Constitution.
White Nationalists Want to Tell You What the Constitution Means
Jim Meskimen, the fellow quoted at left, is among the brightest and most talented people I’ve ever met, but I take issue with what he says here.
When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.
