Nuclear, geothermal, transmission and every other energy source America needs share the same bottleneck: a permitting process that takes years longer than the projects themselves. Reviews that should take months now stretch past a decade because the process itself has no functioning deadline.

Modernized permitting means clearer timelines, coordinated agency review and judicial review that resolves disputes instead of becoming a default veto, so good projects can get built without lowering environmental standards.
