Democrats Split Over Energy Bill Strategy
Democratic lawmakers in the House are divided over whether to amend the sweeping energy permitting bill now or wait until January. Some fear weakening environmental rules while others want to seize current momentum.
Democratic lawmakers in the United States House of Representatives are revising an energy permitting bill while party divisions persist over waiting until January to take control of Congress. The United States Senate voted 73-25 last week to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. The legislation aims to streamline project approvals and require data centers to fund grid upgrades.
