Deployment

CRES Issue Priorities 

To measure successful climate action, we must look at global emissions. Thanks largely to cutting-edge innovation, investment to increase the U.S. carbon advantage, and a commitment to clean energy technologies, the United States leads the world in emissions reductions. But there is still work to be done. CRES’ mission is to engage as many U.S. policymakers and the public to embrace an all-of-the-above energy approach, which would strengthen America’s leadership, boost local economies, secure strong domestic supply chains, and protect our planet.  

Deployment

Deployment of new technologies and infrastructure is critical to continued reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and access to affordable energy. To ensure America’s continued leadership in lowering emissions, we must remove barriers to access resources, build energy infrastructure, and deploy new clean energy technologies.

Permitting & Regulatory Reform

Modernizing regulations, streamlining processes, and reducing costs while maintaining environmental integrity will accelerate the pace of infrastructure development and domestic resource production, resulting in economic gains for America and reduced global emissions.

Right on Energy: Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits
Introduction Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides an advanced manufacturing production credit to domestic manufacturers of applicable clean energy components. Currently, the United States relies heavily on foreign manufacturers for these components and resources, including adversarial countries like Russia and China. Establishing a robust domestic supply chain requires reducing U.S. dependence on […]
