Senators from both parties met on Wednesday.

They said they made a deal.

The deal is about energy and building projects.

The deal will make permits come faster.

Supporters say the bill cuts long wait times.

Big energy projects take too long to build now.

More data centers for AI need more power.

So demand is going up.

The bill also says data centers must pay for the extra power they use.

Shelley Moore Capito is a Republican senator from West Virginia.

She leads the Environment and Public Works Committee.

She said the bill is a big step.

It makes building faster and easier.

It also keeps important rules to protect nature.

She spoke at a news conference in the Capitol.

Mike Lee is a Republican senator from Utah.

He was there.

Martin Heinrich is a Democratic senator from New Mexico.

He was there too.

Sheldon Whitehouse is a Democratic senator from Rhode Island.

He was also there.

These four lead the energy and environment panels.

Heinrich said the bill means more power on the grid.

It means more good jobs.

It means lower power bills.

A vote will not happen until after the midterm elections.

Lee leads the energy committee.

He said he is sure the bill will pass.

It will pass in a lame-duck session in November.

Whitehouse said Democrats still want to know one thing.

How will the bill stop President Donald Trump's team?

He said they block wind and solar projects.

He and Heinrich say Trump attacks wind energy.

Trump is against wind power.

This has always blocked a permit deal.

Democrats say the deal can only move if the team lets approved projects go on.

Trump recently said he could ease his hold on clean energy projects.

He did this partly to win Democratic support.

Whitehouse called that idea reasonable.

But he said the issue is not solved yet.

The bill would limit lawsuits under the National Environmental Policy Act.

It would also limit lawsuits under the National Historic Preservation Act.

It would make it easier to place power lines across states.

It would also make the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission stronger.
