Daily on Energy: Burgum bangs BAAJA drum

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum urged lawmakers to read the Senate’s bipartisan permitting package, saying it provides certainty for wind and solar projects despite President Donald Trump’s recent comments about wind power. Speaking at a Washington permitting event, Burgum said negotiations were largely over and encouraged the House to pass the Senate bill. The administration is pressing Congress to advance the legislation, though Trump has said it remains under negotiation.
