For a cleaner, more prosperous world, ACC mobilizes conservatives around environmental issues, fostering collaboration in the pursuit of environmental conservation.
Happy Thursday Friend! This week we’re highlighting a social event, providing an opportunity to move into advocacy, and reflecting on how public trust shapes nuclear policy.
WHAT BUSY BEES
More than 30 ACC members gathered in New Smyrna for ACC Orlando’s final beach bonfire before sea turtle season begins, closing out the cooler months with good company and a shared love for Florida’s coast. As the sun set and the fire crackled, conversations moved easily from conservation to community, a reminder that stewardship starts with showing up. Protecting our beaches means enjoying them responsibly, and this crew did just that.

FROM THE HIVE
This week we’re reflecting on how public trust enables the hard, necessary work of nuclear energy on our blog.
THE BULLY PULPIT
In this week’s edition of The Bully Pulpit, Chris Johnson breaks down why the DOMINANCE Act is more than tough talk on China. He argues that true decoupling starts with critical minerals and explains how this legislation would reorganize U.S. policy to rebuild American strength from the ground up.
What makes this important is that minerals are no longer treated as just a defense issue or just a trade issue. They are an energy issue, an economic issue, an innovation issue, and an everything issue.
