Energy Lawyers Warn of Regulatory, Legal Doubts Amid Infrastructure Limits, Inside EPA
May 14, 2026Inside EPA cited a Morgan Lewis Insight authored by partners Ella Foley Gannon, William Kissinger, Kirstin Gibbs, and Ryan Lighty examining how shifting federal energy priorities, rising electricity demand, and evolving permitting frameworks are reshaping the regulatory landscape for energy and infrastructure projects.
Drawing from the Morgan Lewis Insight, the article notes that “The U.S. energy landscape is entering a period of rapid change, defined by rising demand, shifting policy priorities, and evolving regulatory tools.”
The article also highlighted the authors’ view that while permitting reforms are intended to accelerate development, “their durability will continue to be tested in the courts, and infrastructure limitations may ultimately dictate the pace of deployment.”
