US Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo signalled a desire for the Biden Administration to pursue permitting reform for new green energy projects in an interview with Robinson Meyer on Heatmap's “Shift Key” podcast.
Adeyemo stopped short of endorsing any specific changes, but expressed support for streamlining the NEPA approval process and beefing up agency staffing to reduce administrative response times and delays. Adeyemo is a figure to watch should Kamala Harris win November's presidential election, with Axios reporting that he is on the shortlist for head of Treasury.
