US Eases Environmental Reviews for Natural Gas Projects
Original: MAKING PROJECTS EASIER: US Eases Environmental Reviews for Natural Gas Projects
The US government is moving to simplify environmental reviews for natural gas projects, a step officials describe as making project development easier. The change could speed up permitting for pipelines, terminals and other gas infrastructure, cutting the time and paperwork developers face. Environmental groups are likely to object that weaker reviews raise risks to air, water and affected communities.
Why now: A federal easing of permitting rules affects energy costs, infrastructure and climate policy, drawing attention from both industry and environmental advocates.
