Congress Rejects NEPA Environmental Regulation Revisions
The U.S. Congress has rejected new environmental impact assessment regulations that aimed to change how infrastructure projects are approved. This means that the previous, less restrictive environmental review rules remain in effect, which could accelerate the implementation of some investments but also raise concerns about their impact on the natural environment.
Key points
