The United States has spent decades drafting plans to modernize its electrical grid, yet transmission lines that engineers say could be built in three years routinely die in decade-long regulatory purgatory — not because of corrupt politicians or corporate sabotage, but because of a 1970 environmental law that nobody in power will touch. This week, we trace how the National Environmental Policy Act quietly transformed from a disclosure requirement into a de facto veto pen wielded by lawyers, local governments, and well-organized interest groups who all claim to want clean energy, just never here, never now. If last episode was about the math governments choose to ignore, this one is about the process they built to make sure nothing inconvenient ever gets built. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
