We would also need some regulatory relief so that U.S. industries can have new capital investments fast tracked to match market evolutions rather than having to wait a decade for environmental lawsuits et al can be rebuffed. It would be quite simple for regulators to allow template designs for new capital investments to be utilized rather than having to write a new EIS every single time they want to expand a facility or build a new one.
