The Department of Energy announced updates to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures last month to support energy development and accelerate energy infrastructure. The department published an interim final rule that rescinds all NEPA regulations and offered new NEPA guidance.
“President Trump promised to break the permitting logjam, and he is delivering,” said Energy Secretary Chris Wright. “America can and will build big things again, but we must cut the red tape that has brought American energy innovation to a standstill and end this era of permitting paralysis. These reforms replace outdated rules with clear deadlines, restore agency authority, and put us back on the path to energy dominance, job creation, and commonsense action. Build, baby, build!”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for Secretary Wright as he seeks to accelerate permitting and energy development.
- For U.S. energy officials as they work to balance environmental policy with growth, innovation, and production.
