Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Joe Manchin (D-WV) will meet with ranking member John Barrasso (R-WY) to talk about permitting reform this week, the latest movement on an otherwise stalled legislative priority.
The Wyoming Republican told the Washington Examiner that he was planning on meeting with Manchin in an informal one-on-one meeting to broadly discuss the issue. When asked specifically what the meeting would touch on, Barrasso replied, “All of it,” in response to questions about transmission and judicial reform.“There’s incentive to get it done,” he said. “We need opportunity to transmit energy, and we need more American energy to transmit. And you need to have both of those together.
Sweeping permitting reform is an area that could prove ripe for bipartisan support if done correctly. While Barrasso acknowledged he and Manchin often agree on energy policy, he stated that “there are a number of members on Democrat side of the aisle that don’t see eye-to-eye with Sen. Manchin,” acknowledging that the pair would need additional buy-in to move anything forward.
