Environmental Groups Call Senate Permitting Deal a Bad Bargain
Original: Environmental Groups Criticize US Senate Permitting Deal as Bad Bargain
Environmental groups are criticizing a permitting deal being negotiated in the US Senate, calling it a bad bargain. The agreement, part of ongoing budget discussions, would reportedly speed up approvals for energy infrastructure projects. Conservation and climate organizations argue it would weaken environmental reviews and favor fossil fuel interests. The criticism adds pressure on Democratic senators weighing the compromise ahead of any vote.
Why now: A bipartisan permitting compromise in the Senate is drawing opposition from climate and conservation groups concerned it weakens environmental protections.
