Cutting Red Tape and Powering Energy Progress With Permitting Reform

November 6, 2025

Across the country, families, businesses, clean energy advocates and industry experts agree: Market forces must override political forces on energy infrastructure.

As EQT CEO Toby Z. Rice put it in The New York Times, “I know exactly how it feels when you have an energy project that’s close to getting built getting stopped. I would like to see a world where that doesn’t happen.”

It’s clear that we must cut red tape for all types of energy infrastructure. Without action from Congress, projects will continue to get blocked, political winds will provide uncertainty, families will continue to experience high energy bills, and America’s global competitiveness will decline.

That’s why PAGE is calling on Congress to pass comprehensive permitting reform so we can get back to building the infrastructure needed to bring down energy costs, secure our energy, and accelerate emissions progress.

Unlocking America’s Energy Potential: Why Permitting Reform is the Key to Affordable, Cleaner Energy

America’s energy system is at a crossroads. Surging electricity demand from AI, record-high energy prices, and urgent calls from our European allies for U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) underscore the need to build energy infrastructure quickly.

Despite our abundant resources and innovative spirit, our ability to meet these challenges is limited by a broken system that thwarts the development of the infrastructure needed to keep up.

PAGE Issues New Permitting Principles to Guide Congress

PAGE outlined five Permitting Principles that should be included in any bipartisan permitting overhaul.

They aim to make energy infrastructure development more efficient and predictable with clearer rules, strengthened judicial review, faster LNG approvals, and enforceable deadlines.

These reforms will allow us build the infrastructure we need to ensure affordable, secure energy for the future. Follow PAGE’s social channels to learn more.

US Climate Groups Reframe the Green Pitch Around Energy Costs

Some Democratic politicians are weighing their options. New York governor Kathy Hochul is re-evaluating the North Eastern Supply and Constitution pipelines, both halted following environmental concerns, as a potential way to improve energy affordability.

Chris Treanor, executive director of PAGE, a coalition of US liquefied natural gas producers, said: “There’s been a recognition that maybe the ideology of opposing natural gas pipelines doesn’t solve the problems that they believe that they did.”
