Right of Way is a podcast about energy policy, energy politics, and, above all, the upcoming permitting reform negotiations.
It is hosted by the Foundation for American Innovation’s Director of Infrastructure Policy, Thomas Hochman, and Policy Advisor, Pavan Venkatakrishnan.
We’re joined by Congressman Josh Harder, chair of the bipartisan Build America Caucus, to talk about the FREEDOM Act – his new permitting certainty bill aimed at stopping presidents from weaponizing red tape against disfavored energy projects.
We cover how court-approved contractors and clear timelines can keep projects on schedule, why an insurance-style de-risking fund gives developers confidence to invest, and how tighter limits on stop‑work orders protect projects that are already under construction.
Congressman Harder also shares what’s next on the Build America agenda for housing, infrastructure, and pro-growth policy.
