We're live from week two of the government shutdown. We consider how the shutdown could play into permitting reform negotiations, and Josh gives us the Congressional state of play.
More from Right of Way
We're joined by Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (D-IL) to discuss how the Senate permitting deal speaks to affordability concerns, why waiting for the next Congress is a mistake, the New Dem priorities that show up in BAAJA, from permit certainty to data centers, and "Silicorn Valley."
We're joined by Office of Energy Dominance Financing Director Greg Beard and EDF Co-Chief Investment Officer Julie Kozeracki to discuss the Department of Energy's financing of reactor parts, the nitty-gritty of the recent EDF loan, and what Congress still needs to do to help make new nuclear happen.
We're joined by Senator Joe Manchin — this time from the Energy Imperatives Summit. We cover the urgency of permitting reform, how political fights over energy infrastructure have evolved, what Sen. Manchin would do differently if he worked on the IRA again, critical minerals, the national debt, and more.
Congressman Josh Harder joins Right of Way to break down the FREEDOM Act and what real permitting certainty would mean for America’s energy buildout.
