DEPLOY/US’ Ecoright field partner-grantees are front and center in Congressional debates on permitting for new energy infrastructure development. On September 10, Thomas Hochman (Foundation for American Innovation), Nick Loris (C3 Solutions), and Jeremy Harrell (ClearPath) gave testimony on clean energy federal permitting requirements to the Natural Resources Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.
