PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
Jan. 13, 2020
RightvsLeft.com reports:
"We want to build new roads, bridges, tunnels, highways, bigger, better fast and we want to build them at less cost"
While much of the media and the American public was focused in the Iran attack this week, President Donald Trump announced significant changes to the nation's landmark environmental law.
The changes would make it easier for federal agencies to approve infrastructure projects without jumping through needless hoops set by green justice bureaucrats.
Many of the White House's proposed changes to the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act have been supported by business groups that contend the law has delayed or blocked projects like laying out oil pipelines and building dams and mines, among other things.
...If the proposals are enacted, it would be the first overhaul of NEPA in more than 40 years.
The plan, released by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, would no longer require any form of federal environmental review of construction projects that lack substantial government funding. The change would also widen the category of projects that will be exempt from NEPA regulations.
"We want to build new roads, bridges, tunnels, highways, bigger, better fast and we want to build them at less cost," President Donald Trump said at the White House on Thursday.
