EPA's Zeldin says streamlining permitting is essential for winning AI race

Exclusive – Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency’s efforts to streamline the project permitting process are crucial for winning the artificial intelligence race.

“It is very important for us to be able to get these new projects approved, to be able to get it done as quickly as we can, to make sure the EPA isn’t slowing things down,” Zeldin told the Washington Examiner in an interview at Sen. Dave McCormick’s (R-PA) Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
