The House finally passed a permitting bill. What’s next?

The House passed a bipartisan permitting reform bill this week aimed at speeding up environmental reviews for energy projects but only after a bruising intra-party fight among Republicans. That clash highlights just how politically fraught permitting reform has become and raises doubts about whether any deal can advance in the Senate. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down what’s in the House bill and what comes next in permitting reform negotiations. Plus, a coalition of tribal, environmental, local and consumer groups filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's rules making it harder for wind and solar projects to earn federal tax credits.
