Lawmakers unveiled a new permitting plan. Will this be the one?

But after years of gridlock and failed attempts, can Congress finally get a deal across the finish line? POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down what’s in the new proposal, why the Problem Solvers are taking the lead, and what obstacles still stand in the way. Plus, the White House is pulling its nominee to run the Bureau of Reclamation. Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of POLITICO Energy.
