Our whole premise as we approached this permitting bill was: How do we create a faster process, not lower the bar on standards.

We’re going to get to ‘yes’ faster. We’re also going to get to ‘no’ faster when a project is harmful.

We need permitting reform to put more electrons on the grid. It results in more jobs, and it's the one thing that can bring down the pressure on the cost of electricity and energy right now.

In the short term, what I'd really like to see is a hand-in-glove approach between Russia and the World Health Organization. That would tell us a lot.
