The Senate will vote on BAAJA November 9th. Most debate has centered on whether climate policy can continue under the all of the above energy approach the bill facilitates

@TheBTI has an article that explains what BAAJA means for the mining sector and critical mineral policy🧵

We're over halfway through 2026 and nearing the end of the 119th Congress. Here's @TheBTI's take on where U.S. critical mineral policy stands and its Congressional prospects as we near elections and the lame duck session (it's not looking great) 🧵

Excited to share the latest @TheBTI analysis along with @wang_seaver, highlighting the challenges of recovering critical minerals from mine waste.

Yes, US policy should support waste recovery. But it cannot expect to meet all demand and displace conventional mining 🧵

Excited to share an op-ed by @wang_seaver and myself in @heatmap_news on the state of play of critical mineral policy in Congress

The gist: Democratic policymakers need to get more sophisticated with their critical mineral strategy

We need to get more specific with our critical mineral strategy.

Thats why @TheBTI put together our report that maps out the best strategy for different commodities based on factors like supply chain gaps, geologic resources, and technical barriers 🧵
