Data: Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy; Table: Ben Geman/Axios The push to pass a sweeping permitting bill is gaining powerful allies and encountering fresh resistance as Congress prepares for a post-midterms showdown.
为何重要：这是很长一段时间以来最重要的一项能源法案。
Why it matters: It's the most important energy bill in a long time.
- 为项目减少障碍是化石燃料和可再生能源行业的首要任务。
• Cutting hurdles for projects is a top priority for fossil fuels and renewables sectors.
- 但一些环保人士表示，该法案以加快审查为名，严重削弱了关键保护措施。
• But some environmentalists say it badly weakens crucial protections in the name of speeding reviews.
新闻驱动：周三发布的一项新的交互式分析预测，如果该法案成为法律，可能节省大量时间。
Driving the news: new, interactive analysis out on Wednesday projects potentially huge time savings if the bill becomes law.
- 据哥伦比亚大学能源智库研究员杰克·安德烈亚森·卡瓦诺称，输电项目可能获得最大程度的加速。
• Transmission projects could see the biggest acceleration, per Jack Andreasen Cavanaugh, a researcher with Columbia's energy think tank.
- 他基于大量具体项目的历史数据进行分析，然后估算这些项目在该法案下会加快多少。
• He based it on historical data about a large number of specific projects, then estimated how much quicker they would have proceeded under the bill.
- 哥伦比亚大学全球能源政策中心对该法案没有机构立场。但创始主任贾森·博尔多夫——能源政策圈内的知名声音——正敦促环保人士不要反对该法案。
• Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy doesn't have an institutional position on the bill. But founding director Jason Bordoff, a prominent voice in energy policy circles, is urging environmentalists not to oppose it. State of play:
当前态势：横跨六位总统（包括特朗普）的经济和国家安全官员中的一批知名人士，在一封致国会领导人的新信中联手支持该法案。
A who's who of economic and national security officials spanning six presidents (including Trump) are linking arms behind the bill in a new letter to Capitol Hill leaders. What's next:
下一步：据信函组织者、无党派智库进步研究所的阿纳布·达塔称，对部分前官员来说，这一努力不止于签名。
The effort goes beyond signatures for some of the former officials, according to letter organizer Arnab Datta of the Institute for Progress, a nonpartisan think tank.
快速了解：这封由19名官员签署的信函包括拜登时期的财政部长珍妮特·耶伦和特朗普第一任期的财政部长史蒂文·姆努钦，他们是曾担任该职位的五人中的成员。
• "Some folks are engaging beyond the letter itself with stakeholders across the board, and some have made themselves available for members briefings or conversations," he tells me via
名单中还包括特朗普1.0时期的国务卿兼中情局局长迈克·蓬佩奥，以及奥巴马时代曾任国防部长和中情局局长的莱昂·帕内塔，仅举这两位为例。
Catch up quick: letter from 19 officials includes Biden-era Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Trump 1.0 Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, among five people who held the job.
摩擦点：过去24小时也出现了对该法案（或至少其部分内容）酝酿反对的新迹象，加剧了部落领袖和一些环保团体现有的担忧。
• The list also features Trump 1.0 Secretary of State and CIA boss Mike Pompeo, and Leon Panetta, who had top Obama-era defense and CIA gigs, to name just two others. Friction point:
- 众议员罗·卡纳（民主党-加利福尼亚州）在X上发文称，如果国会让建设数据中心变得更容易，那将是“听而不闻”。
The last 24 hours has also brought new signs of simmering opposition to the bill, or at least parts of it, adding to existing concerns among tribal leaders and some green groups.
- 这招致支持者的反驳，他们强调法案中有条款确保数据中心公司承担电网成本。
• Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) posted on X that it would be "tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers."
我们在关注：代表营利性公用事业的实力派团体爱迪生电力协会迄今仍未表态。
• That drew pushback from backers who emphasized provisions to ensure data center companies cover grid costs. What we're watching:
- 但进步派智库能源与政策研究所的戴维·波默兰茨获得了一份俄克拉荷马燃气电力公司的文件，该文件批评了输电条款。
The Edison Electric Institute, a powerful group of for-profit utilities, still hasn't weighed in. • But David Pomerantz, who's with the progressive Energy & Policy Institute obtained an Oklahoma Gas & Electric document criticizing the transmission provisions.
底线：参议院预计将在议员们休会返回后，立即就这项两党许可法案举行程序性投票。
The bottom line: The Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote on the bipartisan permitting bill immediately after lawmakers return from recess.
