Rep. John Curtis, R-Utah, and Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., said there's growing bipartisan agreement about the need to develop energy sources that are affordable, reliable and clean.
"We all want cleaner air and we all want inexpensive, reliable, clean energy," Hickenlooper said. "The question is how do we get there at the lowest possible cost with the highest possible resiliency so we're not vulnerable to extreme weather events."
"We've all got to talk about those three components," he said. "In my district, they relate to that. … These are people who are also worried about leaving the Earth better than they found it." Hickenlooper introduced one attempt at permitting reform, the Building Integrated Grids With Inter-Regional Energy Supply, or BIG WIRES Act, in May with Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif. Hickenlooper said there are certain parts of the country that "have abundant electricity, a bunch of renewable energy," and "a bunch of parts of the country that don't," which he believes the bill could help solve.
"Sometimes there's external events that compel Republicans and Democrats to unnatural acts, to work together," Hickenlooper said.
