Permitting Reform Returns: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and What’s at Stake After the Midterms

CSIS experts Joseph Majkut and Kevin Book discuss the return of permitting reform in Washington, focusing on the bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act released September 30 by the Senate Environment and Public Works and Energy and Natural Resources committees. The bill is described as a sweeping, maximalist proposal with a Senate vote expected in the lame-duck session after the midterms. Using new data, they examine how the bill’s four key negotiators are framing it, from restoring America’s ability to build to flooding the grid with clean, affordable energy.
