WASHINGTON DC (1/28/26) – Last week, Governor Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who ran a campaign based on affordability, including lower energy bills, announced that  Virginia would be rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and thus imposing a new tax on residents. The RGGI is a regional cap-and-trade program in the Northeast that requires power plants to buy “allowances” to emit carbon dioxide. These allowance costs are naturally passed on to the consumer, inevitably...

WASHINGTON DC (12/12/25) – This week, the U.S. House began what is slated to be two weeks of permitting action. Most notable on the calendar so far has been the passage of H.R. 3898, the “Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act,” which reforms Section 401 permitting through the Clean Water Act. Section 401 permits have long been weaponized to stop the development of natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

These rules and plans were designed to lock up responsible energy development on federal lands in Wyoming and Alaska.
