What it does
The bill amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to speed geothermal leasing and permitting on federal lands.
The bill amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to speed geothermal leasing and permitting on federal lands. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to hold geothermal lease sales every year rather than every two years, and to hold a replacement sale in the same year whenever a scheduled sale is canceled or delayed. In each sale the Secretary must offer at least 75 percent of the nominated parcels eligible for geothermal development, and must also offer the remaining 25 percent unless the Secretary gives written justification citing a statutory, environmental, or administrative basis. The bill also sets deadlines for geothermal drilling permits, including a 30 day completeness notice, a 30 day decision window after an application is complete, and a 10 day decision once a deferred applicant and the agency finish required steps.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 10 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 32 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 10 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Corporate Energy Buyers Association (Fka Clean Energy Buyers Association); Fervo Energy; Americans for Prosperity; Nfib (National Federation of Independent Business); Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, Inc. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 5 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
