President Donald Trump announced Thursday his plans to dramatically change an environmental law activist groups and their attorneys often use to wrap oil projects in years of bureaucratic red tape.
Trump plans to exempt privately funded projects from undergoing environmental reviews, a significant change that would make building mines and pipelines much easier, The Washington Post reported. Energy producers are cheering the move.
The changes will narrow the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a 50-year-old law requiring agencies to assess the impact a big project could cause to the environment. The administration directed the Daily Caller News Foundation to the White House website, where Trump explained his decision Thursday.
“America is a nation of builders,” the president said at the White House while explaining his decision.

Finally. The CLEANEST country on earth is going to become the most influential country on earth. Europe, by burning diesel fuel at twice the rate the US does, is dirtier than all enviros are claiming. The US are the cleanest country. Try breathing in Russia, china, India, and all countries that have heavy industries. the precedent presidents have instigated too many regulations, to satisfy the stupidity of the corrupted left. President Trump is just doing what he promised: reduce the stranglehold the left has on the country, and help the workers of all industries. Fantastic. STICK IT TO THE LEFT, also called iMPALE THE BASTARDS.
The entire ENVIRONMENT MOVEMENT has been used as a tool of the group of KGB that “took over” GREEN PEACE—in the 1980’s. American Industry “shut down”–due to REGULATIONS–regulations that set impossible goals for “legal” American Companies. Machinery that built America’s war Machines in Two world wars were sold for pennies on the Dollar to CHINA—-the new hub of the communist NWO–Between buying oil (because we were not allowed to drill Our Own) from the Mid East—any spending lives & treasure in the GULF–Oh , well I digress—Thank GOD We have an American in Our White House as COMMANDER & CHIEF.
NOT a good idea. First of all let me say, I am probably MORE conservative than 95% of the people. I live in a small burg in Californication and we have successfully battled and won several privately funded development projects that would have destroyed our little pristine mountain area of Kern County of 14000 or so people – mainly based on environmental concerns, especially lack of water and possibility the expansion of Valley Fever. Had these been successful we would have had to suffer the deluge of well over 100,000 extraneous new people in addition to the fears of lack of water and exposure to VF, et al. IN ALL THE CASES, ALL THE DEMONRATS COULD SEE IS MORE TAX DOLLARS COMING IN, THEY DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE PEOPLE ALREADY LIVING IN THE AREA!
