The short story on the permitting bill – major upsides for transmission and clean energy and major downsides that will mean more fossil fuel gets built. Can we trust that the upsides will play out in a system that is so thoroughly captured by oil, gas, and coal?

Power plants produce nearly a quarter of U.S. carbon emissions. Now, as AI and data centers drive energy use to new heights, the Trump administration is trying to erase limits on carbon pollution for gas and coal power plants. We’re taking them to court to stop them.

This is a bill to build, both fossil and clean. We want to make sure the provisions of the bill that deliver emissions reductions are worthy of the tradeoffs on water, wildlife, democratic norms and other weakened environmental protections. That's the analysis the public deserves, and that’s our job. Sorry if that takes more than a minute.

I am seeing a lot of takes from people like @mattyglesias and others on the 400+ page permitting bill. But unlike others, we’re assessing against the reality we live in today, not only the future we want.
The Community Reinvestment Act is at risk of rollbacks that would dramatically weaken banks’ obligations to invest in working-class communities and help them recover from disasters. We can’t allow this to happen. Submit a comment now: on.nrdc.org/3WbqGU7
