Trump administration moves to change landmark environmental law

The Trump administration is moving to change a landmark environmental law that could limit how much climate change is considered in government projects, a move advocates say could make it harder for the public to register concerns about pipelines and other infrastructure projects.

The National Environmental Policy Act, known as NEPA, sets guidelines for how every government agency makes decisions, mandating that the impact on the environment and public health be considered, while also setting up the procedures for the public to officially register concerns about a project.

"The United States will not be able to compete and prosper in the 21st century if we continue to allow a broken and outdated bureaucratic system [to] hold us back from building what we need -- the roads the airports the schools, everything," President Donald Trump said Thursday at a White House event, surrounded by representatives of the construction, road building and beef industries praising the announcement.

Trump said infrastructure projects are "tied up and bogged down by an outrageously slow and burdensome" government process under the current law and that the proposed changes would speed things up.
