Dems' Permit Bill Split
Democrats in the U.S. House are seeking to amend a bill to speed up permits for energy projects, while others are urging that it be delayed until the party takes control of Congress in January, so they can impose stricter limits on fossil fuels. The bipartisan bill would ease approval of power plants, transmission lines and mines, and require large data centers to shoulder a greater share of the cost of upgrading the grid. The Senate began debating it after a 73–25 vote. Amendment efforts are focused on provisions affecting clean-water and endangered-species laws. Supporters of passing the bill now say the agreement would expand electricity transmission and support clean energy, and there are signs a compromise may be possible in the House.
