Why Permitting Reform Is Climate Policy's Biggest Bottleneck

from Climate Economics with Fexingo: Carbon Pricing, Green Policy, and Sustainability Costs · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna dig into the single most underappreciated obstacle in climate economics: permitting reform. With a new bipartisan bill in the US Congress in May 2026 aiming to speed up environmental reviews for clean energy projects, they explore why a typical solar farm can take 7 years to get through federal permitting, how that affects project costs and returns, and what the proposed 2-year fast-track timeline could mean for investors and developers. Using the case of the SunZia transmission line — finally approved after 17 years — they show how regulatory friction is quietly the biggest barrier to hitting net-zero targets. A fresh look at a structural problem that the green economy can't tariff or subsidize its way around. #PermittingReform #CleanEnergy #ClimatePolicy #SunZia #TransmissionLines #NEPA #RegulatoryBottleneck #EnergyInfrastructure #SolarFarm #WindFarm #BipartisanBill #ProjectCosts #NetZero #GreenEconomy #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
