The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) would encourage new generation facilities, transmission lines, and reduce energy prices.
Employ America estimated that this would produce up to 105,600 jobs in manufacturing, construction, and other industrial sectors.

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act will help deliver cheaper energy for New Mexico homes, more jobs for New Mexico workers, and make sure that our energy growth is both responsible and future-forward. abqjournal.com/opinion/opini…
ALT Senator Martin Heinrich speaking at a podium with a microphone, wearing a blue shirt. The podium displays the logo of "SunZia" and the Albuquerque Journal is mentioned in the top left corner. The text on the right reads, "OPINION: A better way to build: Lower costs, more jobs, responsible growth and data center accountability." The background features a clear blue sky.

A bipartisan permitting bill is the best chance we've had to build clean energy at scale.
Progressives shouldn't pass it up. View article

A proposed deal would make it less complicated to build solar and wind power in the US — therefore having the potential to lower your energy bill. The one downside? It would also make it easier for fossil fuel companies to drill for oil or lay new gas pipelines. Vox’s Sara Herschander breaks down the bipartisan bill.

Americans’ electricity bills keep rising, while the additional energy production and transmission capacity needed to reduce costs languish in regulatory limbo. It's long past time for Congress to clear the logjam and advance permitting reform.

"It’s time to pass permitting reform. This is a win for everybody."
@JaneAFlegal and @ppavnr break down BAAJA and make a straightforward case for why clean energy advocates should support this bill.

The permitting bill is harsher on data centers than many people realize — it opens up federal power law to force utilities to charge them more, allows states to discriminate against them, & allows states to make them cross-subsidize other ratepayers. New: heatmap.news/daily/data-cent…

JUST IN: My desalination bill is one step closer to helping address California’s water crisis, thanks to the work we did @EnergyDems.
We all need water to survive. And it’s not getting easier to find.
So it’s time to innovate. That’s why I’m putting my engineering background to work finding new solutions to get more clean, safe, and reliable water to our communities.
Senate Energy Democrats retweeted
Data centers should not be able to pass their costs on to customers. Our new Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would make that the law, not a suggestion.
Senate Energy Democrats retweeted
The American people want lower energy bills, and they want more clean energy. Our permitting reform plan gets us a long way toward both of those goals.
Ranking Member Senator Heinrich and colleagues host a press conference to discuss bipartisan legislation to reform the federal environmental review and permitting process. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1qKDzWBmO…

We’re focused on getting Americans cheaper energy, good-paying jobs, and responsible growth. To get that right, we need good, strong, legislative text and deliberation.
Our goal is to deliver for Americans struggling to pay their utility bills. And to do that, we must give Senators the opportunity to read and engage with legislation before they’re asked to vote on it. Rushing that process isn’t just unhelpful, it could sabotage the entire effort.
We are talking about major changes to how America builds energy and infrastructure. Getting that right has to matter more than election-year deadlines. We are committed to doing what’s needed to get this across the finish line in this Congress, and we look forward to working with the White House and our fellow Members to do that.

New Mexico is home to America's first designated wilderness area, the Gila Wilderness. This National Wilderness Week, let's remember that appreciation for our public lands is something that unifies all Americans and that our wilderness areas are worth protecting.

New Mexico diesel prices have hit a record high, and gas prices continue to climb.
Families, farmers, truckers, and small businesses are paying the price for Donald Trump’s war in Iran. It’s far past time to end this war, bring down fuel costs, and give New Mexicans the relief they need.

Data Center demand has pushed electricity prices across the nation up. If hyperscalers and other big tech companies need expensive new facilities and more energy, they should pay for it–NOT our hardworking families and small businesses. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1AKEmvedD…

Trump says he “doesn’t regret” starting an illegal war in Iran while YOUR gas, diesel, and grocery prices soar.
Hardworking families can’t afford this unnecessary war.

U.S. diesel prices have topped $6 a gallon for the first time ever.
The trucks that deliver your food run on diesel. Just about everything you buy at the grocery store is about to get more expensive.
Our country can’t afford another endless war.

Happy 110th Birthday to the @NatlParkService! In New Hampshire, places like the Appalachian Trail and Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park are part of our state’s story.
I’m committed to preserving them for generations to come.

Happy birthday, @NatlParkService! Thank you to the dedicated people who work in our National Parks and help maintain these national treasures. Now more than ever, I’m fighting to protect public lands for generations to come.

🌲Today we’re celebrating 110 years of the National Parks Service!
We’re called to be stewards of these beloved landscapes. It's why I won’t sit back while our precious parks bear the brunt of this administration — public land is worth protecting for future generations.
