Securing America's Critical Minerals Supply Act
This bill requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to secure the supply of critical energy resources that are essential to the energy security of the United States. A
critical energy resource
means an energy resource (1) that is essential to the energy sector and energy systems of the United States, and (2) the supply chain of which is vulnerable to disruption.
As part of its duties, DOE must conduct ongoing assessments of
energy resource criticality,
the U.S. supply chain of critical energy resources and its vulnerabilities,
the diversity of domestic critical energy resource supply chains,
capacity constraints on the domestic production of critical energy resources,
federal regulations affecting the domestic production or importation of critical energy resources,
how energy security is affected by reliance on imports of critical energy resources, and
how adversarial nations seek to exploit critical energy resource markets to undermine investment in the United States.
DOE must also
facilitate the development of strategies to strengthen critical energy resource supply chains,
develop substitutes and alternatives to critical energy resources, and
improve technology that reuses and recycles critical energy resources.

: Pair any member who broke with one who stayed with their party: in 95% of those pairs, the one who broke had the higher swing score before the vote. Chance would be 50%.
Projections from swing-v2, computed with data from before the vote. Present and not voting never count as breaking.
These members have less than half of the model’s inputs, so their scores are not banded or ranked.
Ringed dots broke with their party on the vote.
Ideology is each member’s score. The cluster low on the chart includes the bill’s 5 sponsor and cosponsors in the House: they have already committed, so they score as entrenched. 2 representatives without a DW-NOMINATE score or with insufficient data are not plotted.
Similar votes count toward swing-v3 in the House: total similarity weight 63.5 (needs 5.0).
