"Trump's Efforts To Spur Projects Hit NEPA Wall"

"The Keystone XL pipeline. A power line crossing the James River. A big transmission project in Nebraska.

These high-profile energy projects are all potential beneficiaries of President Trump's "energy dominance" agenda. But accelerated approvals, which the Trump administration has at times justified with Obama-era environmental reviews, have left legal vulnerabilities that could send regulators back to the drawing board.

Legal experts who fight to impose stricter reviews say the troubling trend of speedy project approvals means courts will look with more skepticism on reviews the government is conducting under the National Environmental Policy Act."
