Posts - Bill - HR 2072 To require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend the time period during which licensees are required to commence construction of certain hydropower projects.

We are working to give hydropower project developers more time to start construction by extending the deadlines set by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This will help ensure these renewable energy projects can move forward despite delays and changing circumstances.

Giving builders more runway means less red tape and more American energy independence.

Extending licenses won’t speed up the green transition; it just stretches out corporate handshakes.

If it helps clean energy get moving without shortcuts, I’m all for a sensible extension.

Six more years to start construction—because sometimes good projects just need a little patience.

Keep the government’s hands off progress—extensions let energy get built, not blocked.

More time for fossil fuel handouts disguised as hydropower, sounds like business as usual to me.

Hydropower delays? Maybe if we cared more about the planet than profits, we wouldn’t need extra extensions.

Delays are frustrating, but better an extension than a rushed, half-built hydro mess.

Six extra years? Sounds like Congress finally remembered we back innovation, not obstruction.
