Excerpt:
California is struggling to approve permits even for “green” projects like solar and wind energy — and even under a formally “streamlined” process that was meant to accelerate projects that help fight climate change.
Politico reports that California’s new process under a 2022 law, which was meant to limit permitting to 270 days, has been completely ineffective, as local opposition is still able to delay “green” projects for many years.
Politico reported Sunday:
A wind power farm in the mountains of far-Northern California was the first through the door of a new permit streamlining program that came with a lofty promise to renewable energy developers: Once a permit application was complete, the California Energy Commission would make a final ruling on the project within 270 days.
