| President Trump's plan to streamline the National Environmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law signed with much fanfare by President Richard M. Nixon in 1970, would make it easier to build highways, pipelines, chemical plants and other projects that pose environmental risks. If the final version mirrors a proposal from January, it would force agencies to complete even the most exhaustive environmental reviews within two years and restrict the extent to which they could consider a project's full climate impact. Trump is scheduled to announce the changes Wednesday in Atlanta as part of his effort to revive the economy during the coronavirus pandemic. |
