Abstract
All scenarios for meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets require faster deployment of renewable energy projects. However, the current permitting processes, while designed to ensure environmental and public safety as well as public participation, often delay progress. The challenge is to speed up renewable energy development without compromising environmental and community protections. This white paper by the Sabin Center reviews 15 reports from reputable institutions that identify steps to streamline the permitting process. These recommendations offer strategies to reduce time and costs in advancing renewable energy projects.
This report will be updated from time to time. Readers who identify errors in this report, or wish to tell us about new proposals that should be included in subsequent editions, should send them to michael.gerrard@law.columbia.edu.
