Groups Urge White House To Revisit Support Of Current Permitting Reform
More than 70 environmental justice groups and 60 allied organizations demonstrate their commitment to ensuring that equity and justice are central to national policy decisions by sending a letter to President Joe Biden expressing concern about his support of dangerous and undemocratic permitting ideas, including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2022. The advocates called for the President to support reform measures that uphold democracy and center community interests in decision-making for projects designed to advance our national transition to a clean energy economy.
The letter was sent to President Biden in anticipation of the “permitting reform” conversations beginning again as Congress reconvenes.
