Ohio HCR35 urges Congress to expedite deployment of new energy infrastructure by reforming federal permitting processes.

Ohio HCR35 highlights the need for urgent federal action to streamline permitting processes for new energy infrastructure. The resolution emphasizes that current inefficiencies in federal permitting laws, including those under the National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and Clean Water Act, are causing significant delays and discouraging domestic energy production. These delays, according to the resolution, are harming economic competitiveness, increasing energy costs, and raising national security risks.
