.@SenArmstrong says passing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would be "a huge shift from where we’ve been in permitting in our country."

Arizona is attracting major investments in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure. Keeping that momentum requires a permitting process that's predictable and efficient.
We're joining @ShopFloorNAM and business groups across the country in urging the Senate to advance bipartisan reforms that help get projects built and create jobs while maintaining strong environmental protections.

Great news from @NRCgov! Expanding nuclear power is a key priority for manufacturers. Under the leadership of Chairman Ho Nieh, we continue to see outstanding progress streamlining reviews and approvals to safely bring new power generation online.
Federal regulators are making it easier for nuclear startups developing SMRs and microreactors with the Department of Energy/Pentagon to apply for commerical licenses.
This doesn't automatically rubberstamp designs developed in pilot programs, but should streamline applications.

The NAM congratulates @WECNuclear on its approximately $1 billion investment in a new nuclear fuel manufacturing facility in South Carolina. The expansion will increase domestic production of next-generation nuclear fuel, strengthen America’s nuclear supply chain and support growing demand for reliable energy.

i2M CEO and owner Alex Grover is seeing firsthand what pro-growth tax policy can do. Thanks in part to immediate R&D expensing in H.R. 1, i2M has launched more new products in the past year and a half than at any point in its history.
And the growth doesn't stop there. i2M is makinvestment, onshoring the production of critical components and preparing to hire 40 more team members. For manufacturers like i2M, the Working Families Tax Cuts are a game changer. @TaxCuts @WaysandMeansGOP

Leading policymakers are coming together to urge Congress to pass comprehensive permitting reform that strengthens the economy, bolsters national security and creates more jobs. Manufacturers appreciate the work of @IFP to bring this group together. Let's get the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act across the finish line. #BAAJA
NEWS: 19 FORMER ECONOMIC AND NATIONAL SECURITY LEADERS ENDORSE THE BIPARTISAN PERMITTING REFORM BILL
Today, a group of former Cabinet members and White House principals across seven Democratic and Republican administrations sent a letter calling on Congress to pass BAAJA. Here anet YELLEN, Michael R. POMPEO, Steven T. MNUCHIN, Leon E. PANETTA, Timothy F. GEITHNER, Henry M. PAULSON, Jr., Robert E. RUBIN, Stephen MIRAN, Jared BERNSTEIN, Tyler GOODSPEED, Jason FURMAN, Glenn HUBBARD, Laura D’Andrea TYSON, Michael J. BOSKIN, Jeffrey ZIENTS, Jake SULLIVAN, Brian DEESE, Larry KUDLOW, Allan B. HUBBARD
Key highlights from the letter:
1. “We are not building infrastructure fast enough to remain globally competitive… The median time for a new power plant to move from an interconnection request to commercial operation has more than doubled, from less than two years for projects built between 2000 and 2007 to more than four years for projects built between 2018 and 2024.
2. China has built more high-voltage transmission in the last fifteen years than the U.S. has built in all of its history... In 2024, China accounted for 31.5% of global knowledge- and technology-intensive manufacturing value added, compared with 20.7% for the United States.
3. Federally funded or permitted projects require NEPA review, but private projects often do not, creating a threat of failure precisely where the government is trying to be proactive, strategic, and engaged.
4. A project that spends years awaiting approval must continue carrying development and financing costs while remaining exposed to rising input costs. The IEA reports that prices for utility-scale transformers increased 26% in 2024, while lead times for some transformers have stretched as long as six years.
5. Mining projects also face tremendous uncertainty: a 2026 study by researchers at the Colorado School of Mines found that permitting for modern mining projects takes an average of 5.5 years, rising to 8.9 years for contested projects. The U.S. currently has the second-longest mine development timeline in the world.
6. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is the most significant bipartisan legislative effort that Congress has undertaken in decades to tackle these challenges.
7. BAAJA addresses key constraints stifling American industry by requiring interregional transmission planning, strengthening the federal backstop for nationally significant transmission lines, and creating a faster, more predictable process for connecting new generation to the grid.
8. BAAJA also makes permits more durable by imposing tighter timelines for litigation and limiting frivolous lawsuits that can halt projects indefinitely, while preserving community input and judicial review of substantive agency decisions.”
The letter was organized by @arnabdatta321 on behalf of @IFP and covered exclusively by the WSJ this morning.

Keeping North Carolina's manufacturing edge depends on a skilled workforce, and employers need to step up to help build it. In a new op-ed, @cleeNAM and Smurfit Westrock's Charles Little point to the MI's FAME and AI training as tools making a difference.

From chips to helicopters to copper, we’re building America’s future here in Arizona. But our roads, water infrastructure, and power grid have to keep pace.
I joined @ShopFloorNAM and AZ manufacturers at @BenchElec in Tempe for a tour and roundtable about the bipartisan ways bill. We need to get projects built and invest in the infrastructure our families and businesses count on.
