Dr. Sandra Whitehead shared a recent Medium post she wrote “Using AI to Accelerate Permitting for Energy Generation Projects.”
According to Dr. Whitehead, “We know how to generate reliable, cleaner power. What slows us down isn’t the technology—it’s the process. Getting approvals for energy projects can take 5–10 years, and by then, the landscape of need and opportunity has already shifted. That raises a provocative question: could artificial intelligence help us break through the bottleneck?”
