Congress Weighs Federal Role in Electricity Transmission Permits
Members of Congress are considering an expanded federal role in approving permits for electricity transmission lines. The debate centers on whether Washington should override state and local objections to speed up grid expansion, an issue tied to growing electricity demand, renewable energy buildout, and grid reliability concerns. Details of specific legislation and positions remain limited so far.
