Scalise and Westerman advocate for the SPEED Act, aiming to expedite America's permitting process for infrastructure projects.
Quiver AI Summary
House leaders advocate for the SPEED Act: On December 18, 2025, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman published an op-ed in the Washington Times, emphasizing the SPEED Act. They argue this proposed legislation aims to simplify the U.S. permitting process, thereby stimulating job creation and reducing costs.
Focus on infrastructure and energy: The op-ed claims that the current permitting system has become a barrier to essential infrastructure projects, particularly in energy. Scalise and Westerman seek to address long delays associated with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that they argue hinder economic growth and project development.
Proposed reforms and bipartisan support: The SPEED Act aims to restore NEPA’s original purpose, limit lawsuits to directly affected parties, and establish filing deadlines. With bipartisan backing from over 300 related industries, the leaders stress that effective permitting reforms are essential for maintaining the U.S.'s position in global energy and technological competition.
