Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow & got scared. And hey, we get it. Shadows can be scary. But #permitting shouldn’t make you want to hide in a burrow. Use the Citizen Access Portal to research, apply and pay for, & track permit status all in one place. aca-prod.accela.com/INDY/Default...

Permitting Reform Is Hard. This Is Easier. Harmonizing data across federal agencies will go a long, long way toward simplifying environmental reviews.

ICYMI: The ePermit Act passed out of the House and is in the Senate. The is good news.

Here's a piece from September on why it matters. #permitting

Johnson just blew up the deal for Smith NJ04 and Van Drew NJ02. 🙄 (Or maybe I’m not suspicious enough. 🤔)

I don’t love this bill, but oh my… one of it’s main positive characteristics was the carefully negotiated “no meddling” language. 😒

Concise, useful summary in this article about the debate over how much NEPA is holding up big transmission. Thx @emilypont.bsky.social.

I’ll add one more point: it seems that, if xmission lines were treated like gas pipelines, a lot of issues would be solved. 🤔 #permitting 💡🔌

🧑‍🔧Those seeking to build new renewables are required to first get their projects approved through a local permitting process. Making the permitting process easy, affordable, and fast can dramatically accelerate the amount of renewable energy development in their community.

When Reform Brings Higher Energy Costs - Long Island Life & Politics By Alec Bryan  You’re not imagining it: your electricity bills are increasing dramatically. Yes, the cost of groceries and gas is increasing, but skyrocketing energy costs are what Long Islanders are ...

Long Island neighbors remember Rep. Tom Suozzi’s decades of work to protect the Sound. So why is he supporting “permitting reforms” that threaten to undo that progress? Alec Bryan is asking the same question. Read:

Trump's fetish about fossil fuels is destroying the future that needs renewable energy to feed the grid. China has the right idea, while Trump has the wrong idea.

PJM Urges States to Streamline Power Plant Permitting Processes The PJM Interconnection, a critical component of the eastern US electric grid, is issuing an urgent call to action for state governors to streamline permitting processes for new power plant construction. Following a high-profile summit where critics of PJM's operations were represented by both Democratic and Republican governors, the organization has stepped forward to address concerns that potential state control or even exit from the PJM system could have devastating consequences on the region's energy infrastructure.

Sand and gravel mining, especially for fracking, is often exempt from Clean Water Act rules under “incidental fallback.” Wetlands and riverbeds get dredged without a full review. #Extraction #Permitting

Tell Congress to Work on Clean Energy Permitting Reform We made progress on clean energy permitting reform last Congress, but we need to move faster with a new, bipartisan legislative package in this Congress.
