The\u00a0Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is being considered by the Senate. <\/p>\n

To its supporters, including some Democrats motivated by a desire to fast-track renewable energy development, the bill provides \u201cstreamlining\u201d of environmental laws to reduce costs of project permitting and increase certainty for investors. <\/p>\n

To its detractors, including this week\u2019s guest, Marlyn Twitchell of the Western Environmental Law Center, the law is a dangerous rollback of environmental laws. Because the law is energy- and technology-neutral \u2014 meaning that it applies to more than just renewables but basically every\u00a0major project on federal lands \u2014 it means that its not just renewables that could be expedited, from data centers to ICE detention facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
