Episode description
Renewable energy projects need permits to join the grid. But if the permit process takes too long (and it often does), the funders behind the project can back out, making the project unviable but with a permit still pending. POLITICO’s Eric Wolff explains why this bottleneck is slowing the growth of clean energy nationwide and why the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is out to fix it.
