Carper, Schatz Unveil Environmental Review and Permitting Reform Proposal
Press Release
Issues: Environment
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
"Last Congress, we passed the most consequential infrastructure and climate action bills in our history, the next step is streamlining the permitting processes for clean energy generation and transmission projects to achieve the full potential of these laws,
Effective permitting reforms like those proposed in the PEER Act will maximize our ability to bring Americans good-paying jobs and lower energy costs while reducing carbon emissions. I look forward to receiving feedback on this discussion draft and continuing conversations with constituents, colleagues and other stakeholders to create a comprehensive and effective permitting reform solution."
