POLITICO Energy Changing the NEPA rules, yet again
Former President Donald Trump restricted the ability of federal agencies to consider all climate impacts during permitting reviews conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act to narrow the scope of the reviews and speed up the process. Now, President Joe Biden is moving to change NEPA regulations to consider climate change and carbon emissions. But POLITICO’s Zack Colman reports the administration is walking a fine line in expanding the scope of these reviews without threatening the pace at which ambitious infrastructure and green energy developments move forward.
