Trump Backs Bipartisan Bill to Speed Energy Project Permits

President Donald Trump backed a bipartisan energy-permitting bill, saying it would speed approvals for pipelines, mines and power plants and lower household energy costs.

The legislation is designed to simplify federal reviews for major energy and infrastructure projects. It includes projects tied to grid upgrades, AI data center construction and clean energy development.

Trump said the measure would create jobs. Oil companies and renewable energy developers support the bill, while some Democratic lawmakers and environmental groups oppose it.
