GAO says geothermal developers face weaker, less transparent permitting than oil and gas firms on public lands.
Quiver AI Summary
GAO report: A new U.S. Government Accountability Office report says geothermal developers on public lands face permitting rules that are less standardized than those used by oil and gas companies. The report says developers lack online filing, tracking tools, and publicly available guidance in some cases.
Permitting concerns: According to the report, Bureau of Land Management geothermal handbooks have remained in draft form since at least 2022, and the agency does not have a comprehensive system to track geothermal permits. The report says this can make timelines and workloads harder to predict.
Legislative response: The release says House lawmakers, including Rep. Jared Huffman and others, requested the report. It also notes that the House passed a bipartisan geothermal bill in June that would require standard permitting procedures, which the release says is consistent with one GAO recommendation.
