I am disappointed to hear that the president will propose weakening NEPA today. 🌎

The National Environmental Policy Act is an important environmental law that helps the government review new rules and regulations relating to the use of public land and public resources like the air we breathe and the water we drink. Especially with so many large scale renewable energy projects being proposed and other climate mitigations underway its essential that government policies be carefully reviewed before moving forward and environmental mitigations be implemented to minimize environmental impacts before moving forward.

While undoubtedly NEPA delays and adds costs to large scale projects, mitigating environmental impacts can avoid problems down the road and make our communities a better place to live and work in. Things are changing fast with the climate crisis already underway but caution is needed to avoid further harm and damage.
