Create stable long-horizon demand for industrial investment

Existing pathways with statutory time horizons

Existing pathway

DPA purchase commitments, §4817 purchase commitments and statutory multiyear procurement can reduce demand uncertainty within their terms.

What remains unresolved

New use of expiring powers is time-limited; DPA extension to December 11, 2026 is a future continuity issue, not proof that it is unavailable on the target date. Section 4564(c) preserves carrying out pre-termination DPA obligations; confirm that the instrument qualifies and distinguish lawful performance from new commitments.

Coordination or legislative question

Separate a request for durable reauthorization or appropriations from a request for a power that already exists today.

Analytical mapping from the cited demand to statutory mechanisms; not a claim that the strategy expressly requests every possible mechanism.
