We finally have a permitting reform deal. What’s in it—and what comes next?
In the latest episode of Switchboard, former Senator Mary Landrieu sits down with two senators from opposite parties who helped to shape the Senate permitting reform deal. Senator Alan Armstrong (R-Okla.) explains how he got pipeline companies and renewable developers to speak with one voice. Senator John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) says much of the bill started as his own transmission bill. He also admits environmentalists and the oil and natural gas industry will both find plenty to be unhappy with.
