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.

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.

The future of a secure, reliable, and resilient grid will rely heavily on expanded energy storage, smart-grid infrastructure, and new transmission that combined will allow for a seamless integration of all sources of energy.

Homegrown American energy and the development of clean energy technologies rely on timely, responsible access to federal lands and waters.
