This week, we’re sitting down with the end-users. We discuss how permitting constrains manufacturing an AI, develop some permitting wishlists, and consider how political dynamics have shifted on both sides of the aisle.

We're live from week two of the government shutdown. We consider how the shutdown could play into permitting reform negotiations, and Politico's Josh gives us the Congressional state of play.

This week, we’re talking about transmission. We dig into interregional planning, FERC backstops, and cost allocation, and discuss why past efforts at reform have come up short.

This week, we talk all about permitting: NEPA, the Clean Water Act, and beyond. We discuss how these laws are slowing or blocking critical infrastructure projects, and consider how to get the political economy right for reform.

In this inaugural episode, we dive deep into the aftermath of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" and what it means for America's energy future. After years of massive, partisan energy packages—from the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act to the Republicans' recent reconciliation bill—the U.S. finds itself without a clear long-term energy vision. What just happened? Where does this leave us? And where are we going?

Liam Donovan, President, Risk & Reputation Practice at Targeted Victory, and Yogin Kothari, Chief Strategy Officer at SEMA (Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition), join our hosts, Thomas Hochman (Foundation for American Innovation) & Pavan Venkatakrishnan (Institute for Progress).
