President Trump has announced regulatory changes to the National Environmental Policy Act, a change that will speed up approval of federal projects such as mines and highways — effectively weakening what's considered to be a landmark conservation law

Washington President Donald Trump announced regulatory changes to the National Environmental Policy Act on Wednesday, a change that will speed up approval of federal projects such as mines, highways, water infrastructure, and gas pipelines -- effectively weakening what's considered to be a landmark conservation law.

Trump announced the implementation of the newly revised regulations in Georgia at the UPS Hapeville Airport Hub, which is set to benefit from the expedited review of a highway expansion project that will allow the hub's operations to be more efficient. Trump claimed that"mountains and mountains of red tape" slowed the approval and development of infrastructure projects, but added that"all of that ends today.

Money for nothing!!!

Let him be the tough guy soon he will realize that everything was just a beautiful dream!!

it will take years to fix what he has broken

Glad you waited this long it will be erased by the new President

Smh

Cool

The next President is going to have such a mess to clean up.

Shame,shame you are raping the environment

Wow, so that's what's important at this time, hope Trump doesn't end up with a ventilator, not pleasant

He is the destroyer of all that's good

Why? People seem to forget we LIVE here.

He should not be allowed to destroy the entire globe. He is barely POTUS, barely.

Who cares about DonnyCrook at this point? Great read today though for the Next President!:

He doesn't care about the environment he care about money so the environment can go to hell as far as he 8s consern.

Trump continues his attempt to destroy America.

He mentions every single time he talks about this..it doesn't change environmental factors at all. If there is an environmental reason to not build a highway then it gets disapproved faster. It's a speeding up of both approval and disapproval. Saves money/time You are Fake News.

Trump stayed up all night for a week in row to find an environmental regulation that he hadn't already destroyed and found this one. A Call to Action! Now if only he devoted the same kind of time and energy to fighting for America against Covid-19 Pandemic....

He still owes favors to his corporate donors and cronies. To hell with the rest of us!

OrangeBrainDead traitor

Non bias few: Trump is increasing infrastructure development, but at the cost of the environment as it will now be easier to get approval.

*for now. The undoing, or as well call it restoring our Democracy, begins in January.
