ACORE Statement on Introduction of Bipartisan Permitting Reform Legislation
Statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long on introduction of bipartisan permitting reform legislation:
“ACORE applauds House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) and Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) for introducing the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act. The federal permitting process is cumbersome and outdated, creating costly delays for all energy projects—clean and conventional alike. Without permitting reform, the U.S. risks losing ground in the global race for technological and economic leadership—especially as energy demands surge in the AI era.
“The U.S. needs to add the equivalent of 133 Oklahoma Cities’ worth of electricity to the system by 2030, yet only 55 new miles of high-voltage transmission were constructed in 2023; the SPEED Act is a helpful first step toward creating the regulatory environment needed to build the transmission capacity necessary to sustain our thriving 21st century economy.”

Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking.
That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who believe that liberals hate our country and are trying to destroy it.
