It'll be another five years before it's operational.​

To put it simply: It should not take nearly a quarter century to build a supply line connecting renewable electric supply with an area where there is growing demand.
In March, the Republican-led U.S. House passed a huge energy permitting reform bill that was declared "dead on arrival" by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.), though some parts of the bill might be included in an upcoming congressional deal to lift the debt ceiling.

Democrats called the bill a giveaway to big oil companies.

"Republicans refuse to hold polluters accountable for the damage they cause to our air, our water, our communities and our climate," said New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

"While Democrats delivered historic wins for the American people by passing historic climate legislation, Republicans are actively working to undermine that progress and do the bidding of their polluter friends," Pallone said.

Mr. Biden has threatened to veto the energy bill if it reaches his desk, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York called it "dead on arrival" in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
