A 120-day project permit: faster without lowering safeguards
Create parallel review, one application file and an enforceable timeline while retaining measurable environmental and safety safeguards.
Why 122 days is an execution benchmark
xAI says Colossus was built in 122 days and doubled to 200,000 GPUs in a further 92 days. This is used as an execution benchmark, not as a template for bypassing environmental rules.
Proposed 120-day permit clock
Day 0–15One file, one completeness request.
15–60Parallel technical reviews.
60–90Concentrated consultation and corrections.
90–120Reasoned decision.
Environmental safeguards remain
No right to pollute by administrative silence. Simplification targets duplication, sequential reviews and repeated paperwork, not measurable safety and environmental outcomes.
