Key points

  • Trump urges passage of a bipartisan permitting reform bill
  • Bill would speed approvals for pipelines, mines and power plants
  • The push comes before Democrats take over Congress

President Trump on Sunday urged senators to pass a bipartisan bill that would speed up permits for pipelines, mines and power plants before Democrats take control of Congress, BizPac Review reports [3].

The Daily Caller reports the push is aimed at locking in what the president calls his America First Energy Agenda [1]. Instapundit's response summed up the mood among supporters: faster, please [2].

Slow permitting has long held up American energy projects. A faster approval process could mean more domestic production and lower costs for families, which is why the window before the new Congress matters to the White House.
