In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we explore H.R. 7409, known as the Harnessing Energy At Thermal Sources (HEATS) Act along with the committee report (118-722) This bill proposes amendments to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, aiming to cut red tape around geothermal drilling on non-federal lands. By waiving federal permit requirements for specific geothermal projects, the HEATS Act seeks to accelerate the development of geothermal energy while sidestepping some aspects of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Join Brian Barnes along with AI hosts, Avery and Iris, break down the bill’s details, examining how these regulatory changes could impact energy independence, streamline renewable energy projects, and advance geothermal as a clean energy source. Tune in for a straightforward look at the potential benefits—and controversies—surrounding this legislation.
