The American Energy Alliance supports H.R. 1897 the ESA Amendments Act of 2025.
It has been decades since the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was meaningfully amended and in that time there have been substantial societal, technological and environmental changes that ESA implementation has not kept pace with. The ESA has become a regulatory weapon rather than focusing on its original mission of actually helping threatened species recover. H.R. 1897 will improve regulatory certainly, create needed flexibility, and allow the federal government to work better with states and landowners. This will result in better outcomes for both species and for landowners.
A YES vote on H.R. 1897 is a vote in support of free markets and affordable energy. AEA will include this vote in its American Energy Scorecard.
