"A federal office that helps project developers navigate the maze of environmental permitting requirements has seen a recent increase in applications, raising hopes that the office can help the White House reach its many infrastructure goals.
Some of those targets include the deployment of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, the enhancement of the nation’s power grid, and the construction or upgrade of thousands of miles of roads.
The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council has fielded more than 13 new applications in just the past four months, Christine Harada, the council’s executive director, said at a Wednesday briefing convened by the Bipartisan Policy Center."
