In 8-0 Ruling, Supreme Court Significantly Narrows NEPA Environmental Reviews

Legal Insurrection-

The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued an 8-0 decision that substantially limits the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the country’s foundational environmental law.

The ruling makes it easier for infrastructure projects, such as highways, pipelines, railways, and wind farms, to gain federal approval by narrowing the environmental impacts agencies must consider during review.

At issue in Thursday’s case was the proposed building of an 88-mile stretch of railroad that would connect Utah’s oil-rich Uinta Basin to the national freight rail network. Once built, the new rail lines would facilitate the transportation of crude oil to refineries in Texas and Louisiana along the Gulf Coast. more

    That will reduce carbon emissions by forcing them to use the shitter at home thus reducing carbon emissions.
