This bill would make it easier for certain geothermal energy projects to get started by removing the need for a federal drilling permit and exempting them from some major federal environmental laws. This applies to projects on non-federal land where the U.S. government owns less than half of the underground geothermal resources, as long as a state permit is obtained. The goal is to speed up the process for these specific energy developments.
