Scrutinize the bill’s damages provision

Huffman wants close scrutiny of the bill’s provision for paying developers damages from the Judgment Fund when agencies are found to have treated them unfairly based on fuel type. He questions whether these payments would provide meaningful permitting certainty for clean-energy projects, rather than simply compensating developers after a project is blocked.
