Politicians never do or make anything useful. Once in each generation politicians UNDO a previous bad action. Maybe we’d be a smidgen less cynical if they’d ADVERTISE these comparatively unbad moves!
Here’s a genuinely useful change proposed by members of both parties in Congress. Nobody is advertising it; I noticed it from the opposite angle while scrolling Reddit.
Headlines from the actual bill:
This bill modifies federal permitting processes, including environmental reviews, to expedite a wide range of projects.
The bill limits the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act and expedites environmental reviews.
The bill also limits permit obligations under the Clean Water Act.
It also modifies requirements concerning threatened or endangered species to expedite the review of federal permits.
It also limits the scope of the National Historic Preservation Act.

The environmental laws truly improved health when first enacted, and still occasionally prevent or punish real pollution. But ALL environmental crap relating to CO2, and ALL endangered species crap, only blocks improvement and CREATES pollution. These laws cultivate a vast class of consultants, advisors and NGOs whose SOLE purpose is to destroy civilization.
