"Two-year statutory cap is reasonable. If a project cannot be reviewed in two years with cumulative-impact and tribal-consultation preserved, the agency is the problem, not the timeline. Source: 18 years on transmission projects in the Panhandle."

"Project I work on has been in PJM interconnection queue since 2019. The federal NEPA review was Q1 of that — five years and counting. Two-year cap is the only thing that actually moves projects."

"Tribal-consultation requirements *technically* preserved means nothing when the compressed timeline gives no actual room to consult meaningfully. The text preserves the requirement and erodes the practice. Words on paper."
