Removal of Energy ‘Burdens’ Could Have Huge Impacts
"Alan Krupnick, co-director of the Center for Energy and Climate Economics at Resources for the Future, a natural resources think tank in Washington, D.C., said the time it takes the government to permit an oil well is an example of the kind of decisions the order might be most likely to affect. He said it takes the federal government about a year to permit an oil well, but it might take a state only one month to do the same on state or private land. 'The question you need to ask: Are these 11 additional months of review worth it relative to the states?' Krupnick said."
