We work in partnership with other NGOs and with our government affairs partner Waxman Strategies to develop last-mile policy proposals and to steward coordinated strategies with stakeholders in communities, government, and industry — with the goal of changing legislation or executive functions.

In 2025, GEC led two rounds of Hill engagement: a summer round focused on the tax credit and FEOC provisions in H.R.1 as the bill moved from House to Senate to law, and a fall round focused on 2026 nuclear policy priorities including emerging Production Tax Credit challenges and opportunities to strengthen public participation requirements in permitting reform.

Our approach is explicitly cross-partisan. The summer round engaged offices from both parties across both chambers. Nuclear energy's durability as a bipartisan priority — at the intersection of climate, energy security, and economic growth — is central to how we work.
