Pay to Play - Legal Planet

I posted earlier about a provision in the House reconciliation bill that attempts to effectively repeal NEPA by allowing sponsors of projects to pay a fee to avoid any judicial review of NEPA documents. That provision is not unique, and indeed it looks like House Republicans are trying to develop a new tool to use reconciliation (which can avoid a Senate filibuster) to alter substantive law. Similar pay to play provisions exist elsewhere in th…Department of Justice · United States See the Story

Reconciliation and public lands - Legal Planet

As the Senate takes up the House’s version of the reconciliation bill, I wanted to briefly summarize the main provisions that relate to public lands – in part so readers can be aware of the state of play as to what might (or might not) come to pass in the Senate. The bill as passed by the House can be found here. Overall, most of the relevant provisions relate to leases for fossil fuel development, particularly oil and gas. Some other provisio…Senate · Alaska Read Article

Giving Away the National Parks? - Legal Planet

Another national park idea the Trump Administration had recently was to offload hundreds of national parks to states and local governments, in order to trim $900 million from the Park Service budget. The proposal is spare on details, only calling for the “transfer [of] certain properties to State-level management.” Secretary of the Interior Burgum stated that only about 60 “crown jewel” parks would be off of the list for potential transfer. A…Trump Administration · United States Read Article

If signed by the President—and if successful in the face of court challenges to their dubious legality—these resolutions would nullify Cali…Sacramento · Sacramento Read Article

Could Zero-Emission Hydrogen Help Reduce Aviation Emissions in California? - Legal Planet

Few industries face as complex a challenge in decarbonizing as aviation. While great for decarbonizing on-road transportation, batteries are generally too heavy to power long-distance flights. Low-carbon biofuels blended into fossil jet fuel represent only a partial solution, due to lack of feedstocks and blend limits. Zero-emission hydrogen could represent a solution, either as an ingredient for synthetic jet fuel that can drop in as a replacem…Berkeley, California · Berkeley Read Article
