Congress Moves to Speed Up Energy Permitting
Original: Exasperated by Delays, Congress Tries to Speed Up Energy Permitting

The effort aims to cut delays that have held up power lines, mines, pipelines and clean energy projects, and it has drawn interest from both parties, though disagreements remain over how far to ease environmental reviews.
Why now: Energy project delays are holding up infrastructure and clean energy development, making permitting reform a live legislative priority.
