The new energy permitting bill to feed the AI boom unites fossil fuels and clean power while dividing green energy and environmentalists

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill aimed at expediting energy projects, including both fossil fuel and clean energy infrastructure. The legislation, which now moves to the Senate, seeks to streamline permitting processes for a range of energy projects, including gas pipelines, solar farms, and wind turbines. However, it has sparked controversy among environmentalists who argue that it could lead to increased environmental risks and bypass important protections.
