Rocky Mountain Energy Council Being Formed to Streamline Energy Permitting
The White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Task Force on Energy Project Streamlining have scheduled a meeting on Aug. 26 in Denver to discuss the formation of the Rocky Mountain Energy Council (RMEC), a state-federal partnership that would look for ways to streamline government handling of renewable and nonrenewable energy production and transmission projects. The RMEC is expected to have its first meeting before the end of the year, according to a Federal Register notice.
