President Trump is making major changes to a bedrock environmental law, aiming to speed up approval for projects like pipelines. Critics say the move could discount those projects' impact on climate change — and sideline the concerns of poor communities.

"NEPA gives poor and communities of color a say in the projects that will define their communities for decades to come. Rather than listen, the Trump administration's plan aims to silence such voices," says Buccino.at the White House in January and said he wanted to streamline an"outrageously slow and burdensome federal approval process" that can delay major infrastructure projects for years.

The average times for agencies to complete an environmental impact statement is 4 ½ years, says Mary Neumayr, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. When the proposal was announced, she said this delay"deprives Americans of the benefits of modernized bridges and roads that enable them to get home to their families.

This Green New Deal prioritizes progrssive agendas, not the environment.Veering early and often into identity politics, the ‘deal’ actually says the race and gender issues (wealth divide between black & white families and gender earnings gap) are “related” to climate change.

I believe that trump is seeing the writing on the wall and is trying to change as many Environment of laws before he leaves office!!!

Trump does *NOT* give a FUQ about: ClimateEmergency Science environment ClimateChangeIsReal Earth Oceans Trump Must GO in November!!

Wondering once again where Congress is...

realDonaldTrump and the GOPLeader failed their oath

gut this fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump with CrimesAgainstHumanity

This guy seriously needs to just ...well cant say it on here

Good! Protect Free Enterprise!

Most evil US administration of all time.

Well he's gotta pay his debts before leaving office

Valkyr101 He cannot be smart enough. Who is actually doing this?

The 25th amendment needs to be invoked!

Trump's America is a blight on the whole world when it comes to destroying the environment for profit. American family values?

Critics ALWAYS say things....

These tree huggers want to protest the pipelines and fast tracking projects, all while refusing to give up their cell phones and automobiles... They make zero sense.. GreatAwakening

He’s a sociopath. His understanding of the virus and national strategy needs to be held accountable

Disgrace & upsetting. Save environment folks with fresh air/water etc.

Critics? I'm sure people in his admin says the same... They just don't care

“Critics say the move could discount those projects' impact on climate change — and sideline the concerns of poor communities.” Sentient beings say that’s precisely what the move is intended to do.

Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” Revelation 12:12

Trump's days of endangering Americans are numbered - vote him out!

'Critics' say the move 'could'... meanwhile I say...jobs are good for poor communities and America being enery independent means more wealth for Americans. Also , if we are weaker, China stronger, who pollutes more? Which one has better environmental morals?

A play to the establishment... small potatoes compared to the threat to loved ones created by the derelict pandemic response...

Cruelty is the only policy.

I cannot stomach what elected this

Will Trump get 10 years for destroying monuments?

Donald Trump crap Magic anti global warming turds and NPR would spin it as a dangerous fact for all of Humanity.

Do you ever say anything good about Trump? This is just negative propaganda

I hate that SOB.

I'm definitely against speeding things up without looking at the impact/consequences....like vaccines.

I want obama executive order back on solar weather too. We need that with reliance on electrical systems

What has trump ever done that benefitted Americans or has been in the best interest of this nation? Not one thing.

He does not care at all......do we?

November cannot come soon enough.

No. Only the legislative branch can make bedrock environmental law changes. The executive branch can only change regulations associated with the underlying law set down by Congress. You MUST STOP LYING to the American people.
