The White House on Tuesday announced it has restored key protections to a landmark environmental law governing the construction of pipelines, highways and other projects that President Donald Trump had swept away as part of an effort to cut red tape.
The new rule will require federal agencies to scrutinize the climate impacts of major infrastructure projects under the National Environmental Policy Act.
In 2020, Trump introduced major changes to the law’s implementation, saying the government would exempt many projects from review and speed up the approval process. His administration also said federal agencies would not consider “indirect” climate impacts. Trump and allies in the business community said the move would reinvigorate infrastructure projects across the nation.
Under the rule finalized by the Biden White House this week, regulators will now have to account for how government actions may increase greenhouse gas emissions and whether they will impose new burdens on communities, particularly poor and minority neighborhoods, that have already faced disproportionate amounts of pollution.
The move underscores how President Biden is looking for ways to push forward on his climate agenda despite rising concerns about cost increases in the economy.
The Trump-era changes made it more difficult for environmental and community activists to challenge federal infrastructure projects, limiting public review of the construction of roads, bridges and power plants — and freeing agencies from having to consider all the ways the projects could affect climate change.
Trump said he was cutting “mountains and mountains of bureaucratic red tape,” saving millions of dollars and kick-starting the economy.

Where is the proof CO2 causes global warming?
Great, Shove more knives into the economy.
And every year California forest fires belch enough CO2 and other toxic crud into Nevadas atmosphere enough to block the noon soon for 2 whole weeks every summer. More CO2 than Nevada produces itself per century
Ol’ Diarrhea for Brains Biden, mindlessly doing the bidding of his handlers.
“Great, Shove more knives into the economy.”
He’s repeatedly stabbed the American people in the back.
There are no climate safeguards but NWO BS!!
Great, Shove more knives into the economy.
Brilliant!! In the middle of an Economic slowdown let’s create more Speed Bumps!! This will help elect more Conservatives!!
Biden’s unelected radical handlers restore climate safeguards in key environmental law, reversing Trump
He dint do nuffin. His handlers did.
What projects exactly have been built under Brandan? He killed the keystone pipeline, our highways have never been as dilapidated and potholed as they currently are, and "other" projects - like the windmills killing the eagles, I guess eagles are not protected under the "environment".
A so-called "Arctic expert" is predicting yet again that "next year or the year after the arctic will be free of ice". Even though he's been wrong every time he predicted the same exact thing for decades. LOL

Oh, wait. That was in 2016. LOL

Not knives. Red tape. He is strangling the economy with red tape.
Another idea to scrap under Pres Trump second term.
