Requires faster approval for geothermal energy projects on public lands.
The CLEAN Act would make it easier and faster for companies to develop geothermal energy. It would require the government to hold lease sales every year instead of every two years and set strict deadlines for approving drilling permits. This aims to boost geothermal power production by streamlining the process.
Today, the government holds geothermal lease sales every two years and has no specific deadlines for processing drilling permits. After this bill, the government would hold lease sales annually and conduct replacement sales if needed. It would also make decisions on drilling permits within 30 days of receiving an application and another 30 days once it's complete.
