Nat’l Governors Assoc. Sends Permitting Reform Wish List to Congress

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro oscillates between acting like an adult and a petulant child regarding rising electricity costs in his state, costs that are due in part to his own policies (see Democrats Try to Demonize PJM Elec. Grid for THEIR Failed Policies). He stomped his feet and threatened to leave the PJM Interconnection grid over the price of electricity (see PA Gov. Shapiro Gets Uppity with PJM, Threatens to Leave the Grid). He then assembled a gang of other states to bash PJM (see Gov. Shapiro Convenes Gang to Blame PJM Grid for His Policies). It's time for the pendulum to swing back to acting like an adult. Shapiro (a Democrat), along with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (a Republican), led a bipartisan, multi-state response to the nation’s "energy crisis" by sending a series of recommendations for federal permitting reforms to committee chairmen and ranking members in the U.S. Senate and House to "help speed the delivery of critical energy infrastructure projects without compromising environmental protections." So says the letter.
