What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Senate voted 73-25 to begin debate on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, a measure designed to rewrite the federal permitting system. The bill would shorten federal reviews for power plants, transmission lines, mines, and other infrastructure projects. It also requires large data centers to bear a greater share of the costs for necessary grid upgrades.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legislation is a major attempt to address delays in the energy system, as utilities, manufacturers, and technology companies seek new generation and transmission capacity. The bill must still pass the Senate, be reconciled with House legislation, and be signed by Donald Trump to take effect.
