PoliticsSen. Armstrong Says Permitting Reform Is Urgent

Sen. Alan Armstrong says permitting reform could offer a durable, long-term fix for infrastructure construction and connecting consumers with lower-cost energy, but would not immediately improve affordability. After years of debate, he says the bipartisan bill must pass during the lame-duck session. He is not concerned by Trump’s comment that he would not sign a permitting bill with wind turbine provisions.
