in charge of coordinating federal infrastructure approvals across
agencies, tells host Josh Siegel how he is “somewhat terrified” that a

administration’s clean energy goals. They also discuss why Democrats and
Republicans remain far apart on permitting reform and what the
administration can accomplish even if Congress doesn’t act.
