Cumbersome regulatory processes are delaying hundreds of US energy projects and potentially costing the US economy more than $1trillion every year, claims a study by business lobby group the US Chamber of Commerce. The report, dubbed Project No Project, was published in March and identifies 351 stalled energy projects across the country, including 89 wind farms. The report paints a grim picture of endless permitting delays and strongly suggests that the US economy could see an annual $1.1 trillion boost along with up to 1.9 million new jobs if regulations were relaxed.
