| What’s causing the bottleneck? Here’s how government red tape impacts your energy bills and our nation’s potential for energy independence: - Excessive reviews and outdated regulations: Permitting inefficiencies drive up project costs, delay progress, and stifle innovation in energy infrastructure.
- Higher costs for families: These delays increase energy bills, putting additional strain on households.
- Missed opportunities: Bottlenecks hinder job creation and limit the nation’s potential for energy independence.
Real-world examples: West Virginia’s Atlantic Coast Pipeline: This project was canceled after $3 billion and five years of legal battles, resulting in the loss of over 17,000 potential jobs. Ohio’s Sweden Valley Pipeline: This vital energy source was canceled due to federal inaction, cutting off reliable energy supplies for thousands.
