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