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.
We’re going to get to ‘yes’ faster. We’re also going to get to ‘no’ faster when a project is harmful.
Our whole premise as we approached this permitting bill was: How do we create a faster process, not lower the bar on standards.
Senator Martin Heinrich’s bipartisan Forest Bioeconomy 5 Act complements that work by finding productive uses for small diameter trees removed during forest treatments.
