Democrats Push Fossil-Fuel-Friendly Permitting Reform, Environmentalists Say
Original: Democrats Abandon Environmental Laws to Advance Pro-Fossil Fuel ‘Permitting Reform’
Democrats are backing so-called permitting reform that would weaken core environmental laws to speed approval of fossil fuel projects, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. The group argues the party is abandoning environmental protections to advance a pro-industry agenda. The criticism adds to debate over whether streamlined permitting trades away safeguards for endangered species and clean air in the name of faster energy development.
Why now: Debate is active over Democratic compromises on permitting that environmental groups say sacrifice environmental protections for fossil fuel expansion.
