Senators clinch construction permitting deal before election jet-set

U.S. Senators Capito, Whitehouse, Lee, and Heinrich reached a bipartisan deal to streamline federal permitting for energy and infrastructure projects, aiming to speed construction and reduce costs. The 'Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act' also requires data centers to cover their own energy transmission expenses and is set for Senate consideration in the post-election lame-duck session.
