What happened

The video’s speaker said President Trump came into office, declared a national energy emergency, and created a National Energy Dominance Council, introducing what he called the wild concept that agencies previously siloed on their own equities would now collaborate and actually talk to each other, according to the remarks.

He described the frustration of applying for a permit through a sequential process in which, 18 months down the road, an agency raises a problem the applicant would have appreciated hearing at the outset — but the agency did not yet have the application at that stage, according to the remarks.

He said the administration is bringing efficiency to government to be exceptional stewards of taxpayer dollars, so that investing in America costs less, a new project takes less time, and there is more certainty for those committing hard-earned capital to a project, a community, and a vision with urgency, according to the remarks.

Why it matters

The short EPA piece states the administration’s permitting theory in one place: front-loaded interagency collaboration, under the Energy Dominance Council, as the mechanism for cheaper and faster project approvals.
