The Department of the Interior has announced emergency permitting procedures aimed at strengthening the domestic energy supply by fast-tracking oil, gas, and mining projects. In a significant effort led by Trump, new measures will cut the approval times for energy projects to 28 days. This move is intended to accelerate the permitting process for fossil fuel projects while also resuming solar and storage permitting amidst ongoing policy shifts. Critics argue that this approach is an attempt to silence public voices regarding environmental concerns.
