Democrats are continuing to seize on the issue. [SEEC Vice Chair] Democratic Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois is a main co-sponsor of the Cheap Energy Act, which would restore clean energy tax credits, put guardrails around data center development to ensure companies are paying for the electricity they use, and provide energy assistance to millions of households who face electricity and gas shutoffs as their bills mount. Casten said he wanted to put forward a proactive plan for how Democrats would seek to lower bills, to give candidates something to run on.

The House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition endorsed its first slate of bills for the 119th Congress, backing a half-dozen measures that focus on workers' rights and protections. The six bills announced Wednesday include proposals to protect federal employees. The legislation picked by the caucus would also create protections for workers facing climate impacts, such as rising temperatures. The first round of endorsements was put forth by SEEC’s Climate Jobs Task Force, and the caucus plans to endorse further bills in the coming weeks.

A big bipartisan permitting reform deal may be in the offing in Washington. But getting it done will require taking away one of Donald Trump’s favorite toys: The power to mess with solar and wind permits. “Any deal hinges on the Trump administration providing assurances they’re not going to kill every single clean energy project in existence,” [SEEC Vice Chair] Representative Mike Levin told me on Tuesday.

The proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register and open for public comment for 45 days. EPA and the Army will host two public meetings, both in-person and online. The leaders of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, said, “Trump’s Polluted Water Rule will leave us with weaker clean water protections than we’ve had since the 1980s, allowing polluters free rein over our nation’s waters.”
