Policy Priorities
A Plan for American Power
SMA’s 4-Point Action Plan outlines urgent federal steps to expand generation, strengthen grid reliability, and meet the electricity needs of American steelmaking.
- Pass Bipartisan Permitting Reform
Accelerate approvals for critical power generation and transmission projects.
- Pause Premature Power Plant Retirements
Keep reliable existing generation online while new resources are built.
- Supercharge Energy Investment and Innovation
Expand power generation and support next-generation energy solutions.
- Secure Power Generation Supply Chains
Strengthen every link in the power generation supply chain.
SMA’s Five Priorities for the Administration
Our 5-Point Action Plan outlines SMA’s vision for strengthening American steel, creating jobs, and supporting our nation’s security.
- Strengthen Tariffs to Protect Domestic Steel
Unfair trade practices, including China’s dumping of cheap, high-emissions steel, threaten our industry. Tariffs like Section 232 have proven effective in revitalizing U.S. steelmaking.
- Combat Unfair Trade Practices
American manufacturers face a global system rigged against them. Modernizing trade laws will help level the playing field.
- Reduce Regulatory Burdens
The U.S. steel industry is the safest and cleanest in the world, but overregulation threatens its growth.
- Support Pro-Growth Tax Policies
Pro-business tax policies have spurred American innovation and job creation.
- Monetize Our Environmental Advantage
American steel production leads the world in low emissions, but foreign competitors gain an unfair advantage with outdated, polluting technologies.
Drop us a line and let’s talk steel.
