Presidential Message on the 50th Anniversary of the National Environmental Policy Act
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Issued on: January 1, 2020

Signed into law on January 1, 1970, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires Federal agencies to consider and inform the public of the environmental effects of proposed major Federal actions. NEPA’s enactment was the culmination of legislative efforts to establish a national environmental policy and incorporate the consideration of environmental issues into the Federal Government’s decision-making processes. Today, on the 50th anniversary of this milestone legislation, we take the opportunity to reflect upon NEPA’s goals of protecting our Nation’s natural resources and recommit to ensuring a safe, healthy, and productive environment for all Americans.

1. Well, he's running true to form...Pinocchio form, that is. n/t

2. As we all know

Talk is cheap.

3. It sounds good. The problem it's its all utter bs.

Making the permitting process faster by maximizing technology and increasing staff would be good but that’s not what they did. They gutted the rules so there Tally isn’t a permitting process. It’s an “ask and get one” process.

4. A lot of multi-syllabic words in there. Kudos to whomever wrote it.

It sure as hell didn't come from our moron-in chief.

5. Good Lord...

The one good thing about Nixon being dismantled too! We’re screwed.
