Carper, Schatz Unveil Environmental Review and Permitting Reform Proposal
Press Release
Issues: Environment
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
"After enacting historic infrastructure and clean energy investments last Congress, we need efficient permitting processes that allow our nation to meet our climate goals with the urgency that science demands,
The PEER Act would help accelerate clean energy projects and create good-paying jobs across our country while ensuring that communities have a say in infrastructure projects. Importantly, our bill would improve the permitting process without undermining our nation's bedrock environmental protections. I'm proud to release this discussion draft with my colleagues, and I look forward to continuing the important work ahead so that we can pass bipartisan permitting reform legislation."
