Hi Lou,
Thank you for meeting with us a few weeks back. I wanted to close the loop on a series of hydropower recommendations we have compiled. We see lots of opportunity to accelerate relicensing and new deployments of this "forgotten renewable" as you so aptly called it.
We have also shared these with Stuart Levenbach at OMB. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's any additional information we can provide.
Best, Matt

Lou, Thank you for taking the time to meet with us on Wednesday. Really glad to see you've hit the ground running in your new role. I wanted to follow up with a few documents we discussed:
1. Proposal for DOE demonstration project permitting relief via a NEPA CatEx 2. Program Concepts for a Next-Gen Geothermal Drilling Derisk program Additionally, we are finalizing our hydro relicensing research and recommendations and will send that over soon. I will also be in touch with Brianne Miller at Microsoft about their AI for permitting work. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Thanks again for the opportunity to share some of our views. We look forward to working with you to deliver American energy dominance. Best, Jeremy
