Contrary to Words of Support, Biden Uses NEPA to Block New O&G

In January 2020, President Trump announced a list of proposed changes to the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in an effort to strip away some of the governmental red tape that has built up over the years like plaque in an artery, preventing important infrastructure projects like pipelines, dams, bridges, and roads from getting built (see Trump Seeks to Speed Up Pipeline Projects by Tweaking NEPA Law). Over the past 20 years or so the left has become expert in their use of NEPA to block new projects, claiming environmental harms. Trump reversed that trend when his tweaks to NEPA went into effect in 2020 (see Trump Admin Releases Updates to National Environmental Policy Act). Joe Biden has just reversed it all and has, once again, proven he is an enemy of oil and gas development.
