Key Vote YES on H.R. 4776

The American Energy Alliance supports H.R. 4776 the SPEED Act.

The SPEED Act makes important modifications to the National Environmental Policy Act, including codifying principles of the decision in the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, CO Supreme Court case. These reforms will help reduce the harms and abuse of the NEPA litigation process and allow important infrastructure to be built in a more timely and cost-effective process. Abuse of the NEPA process impedes all sectors of the economy, limiting job and economic growth to little purpose. Major reforms to NEPA are still needed, but this legislation marks an important first step.

A YES vote on H.R. 4776 is a vote in support of free markets and affordable energy. AEA will include this vote in its American Energy Scorecard.
