EQT’s Rice Says China Will Win AI Race Unless U.S. Cuts Red Tape

In an interview with the Financial Times, EQT Corporation CEO Toby Rice stated that onerous permitting rules are hindering President Trump’s ambitions for energy dominance. Rice said Congress needs to cut project approval times to compete with Russian LNG exports and to win the AI race against China. His message was clear: Permitting reform, NOW. We've danced around permitting reform long enough (for years). It's time to act. Republicans control Congress and the White House. If we can't get permitting reform done now, it will never get done.
