      <image:caption>We must accelerate deployment of clean energy, expand conservation, and restore natural barriers to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. But to reach the climate and clean energy goals on the timeline recommended by scientists, we must also improve our permitting process. Every project that turns dirt, disturbs habitat, or alters a landscape puts people in unavoidable conflict with nature. The good news is that conservation, climate, cultural, community and economic incentives can be aligned. In our experience, projects are successful when impacts are transparently identified and fairly addressed among stakeholders seeking consensus. Roads, bridges, transit and railway projects must reach underserved communities, advance climate action, and protect public health. Dangerous drinking and wastewater systems must be replaced as quickly as possible. Outdated electricity grids must be made more efficient and resilient in the face of extreme weather. Remediation and revitalization must eliminate pollution and expand access to green spaces. TPI members champion progress and responsible management of our resources. We seek to achieve long-term conservation strategies, mitigate climate impacts, and restore natural ecosystems by leveraging billions in new infrastructure investment to the benefits of communities, especially for people most affected by pollution.

      <image:caption>Advanced coordination assisted Arevia Power in removing roadblocks and reducing risk for a 690-megawatt solar project in southern Nevada. That support delivered a coordinated roadmap for all necessary federal, state, and local approvals. When fully operational, the project will generate enough clean solar energy to serve the needs of 400,000 homes every year, displacing approximately one and a half million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Success Stories - Borderlands Wind Project</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sound leadership and strategic planning delivered a project permitting timetable that was agreed upon by all applicable Federal agencies in just 60 days. In total, 13 Federal, state, and local entities with permitting authorities or pertinent interests collaborated in the review of this 100-megawatt wind project. When completed, this $200 million investment in western New Mexico will deliver renewable energy to the Four Corners region.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A $500 million, 102 mile transmission line project that will connect facilities in Iowa and Wisconsin, increasing the capacity and reliability of the regional transmission system and expanding access to lower-cost electricity and renewable energy generation. The first voluntary FAST-41 project, it was able to be completed with a 6-month time savings through extensive interagency communication that included a robust Section 106 analysis. That work ultimately led to the discovery of a previously unknown cultural heritage site that will now be protected for a lifetime.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A focused effort supported by the right team delivers success. Leadership from The Permitting Institute assisted in the development of a strong public/private partnership that allowed the Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project permitting process cleared 70 federal, state, and local permits from over 19 federal and state agencies in less than three years. This project will create 19,000 jobs and use upwards of 500,000 tons of American steel and more than 5 million cubic yards of concrete.</image:caption>
