FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>The Senate\u2019s newest member is reviving an issue that has echoed through the halls of Congress for years, and one that, if successful, could turbocharge energy production in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Sen. Alan Armstrong, R-Okla., who was appointed to replace Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin<\/a> earlier this year, has one priority in the few months that he has been the Sooner State\u2019s junior Senator: permitting reform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not one of the sexy, bombastic issues on the Hill, but it\u2019s one that has percolated among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for years. And one that has never quite made it to the finish line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

IN 2026, ENERGY WAR\u2019S NEW FRONT IS AI, AND US MUST WIN THAT BATTLE, API CHIEF SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

But for Armstrong, who stepped down as CEO of the Oklahoma-based<\/a> natural gas processor and transporter Williams Companies before joining the Senate until the end of the year, the only issue that matters is gutting red tape and legal hurdles for new energy infrastructure projects that proponents argue, in the long run, could provide a boom in America\u2019s economic competitiveness, particularly against China.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no magic, overnight fix to lower prices, but comprehensive, meaningful permitting reform will ensure that the U.S. remains the global leader in energy,”<\/a> Williams said in a statement. “When we can build our own infrastructure and produce our own supply, our allies will be far less reliant on adversarial sources for their energy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The U.S. cannot afford to remain idle while our global competitors move ahead, and the cost of inaction will be paid directly by American consumers through higher utility bills,” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RAPID RISE OF AI PUTS NEW URGENCY ON CONGRESS TO UNLEASH AMERICAN ENERGY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Williams has produced a package of bills geared toward permitting reform that combines ideas from the House and Senate, dubbed the American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act of 2026.<\/p>\n

The package would ultimately alleviate time and money spent on the permitting process for pipeline developers, liquid natural gas (LNG) export companies and natural gas producers, among others, as they navigate the dense and slow-moving permitting process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Armstrong\u2019s legislation, which so far has the backing of Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Rick Scott of Florida, and Katie Britt<\/a> of Alabama, along with nearly two dozen oil and gas companies, would make the Federal Energy Regulatory Agency (FERC) the lead agency in approving interstate pipelines and LNG terminals, a change in current law that would prevent a single state from blocking a federally approved interstate project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It would also require “evidence-based” review when it comes to environmental-based decisions in the permitting process, and would expand the usage of Nationwide Permits under the Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> (EPA) to create a broader standardized approval process for certain projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The package also creates standardized requirements for projects that affect wetlands and waterways and would make it easier for mining, particularly of critical minerals, to take place on federal lands.<\/p>\n

And it would broadly reform the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that requires federal agencies to study environmental impacts before approving many projects to narrow what agencies analyze, clarify that NEPA is largely a procedural law, limit expansive environmental analyses and establish clearer rules for review in court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“America has got to be able to build again, or else we are leaving our kids a worse country than the one we inherited from previous generations,” Armstrong said. “I\u2019m glad that my presence in the Senate these last few months has reinvigorated this conversation, and rest assured, I won\u2019t be stepping off the gas.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
