Veronique de Rugy writes in Reason about the consequences of inefficient permitting.
- From housing to technological development, government red tape and onerous permitting is hamstringing the economy.
- Inefficient regulations have an outsized impact on energy prices, reliability, and innovation.
- Permitting requirements slow down build times which hinders our ability to add more generation to the grid to meet growing demand.
- Modernizing the permitting process would lower costs for consumers and accelerate economic and climate progress.
“This isn’t just good policy; it’s a moral imperative. Permitting reform is about restoring a healthy power balance between government and individual and ensuring that America remains a place where innovation thrives, entrepreneurs succeed, and opportunity is universal. It’s about reclaiming the principles that made this country great.”
