This bipartisan energy deal could clear the way for Trump's arch
Mother Jones reports that the lame-duck Senate will vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, introduced by Senators Whitehouse, Heinrich, Lee, and Capito, which would overhaul federal environmental review to speed transmission lines, power plants, and pipelines. Critics including Christopher Cody of the National Trust for Historic Preservation say it would gut Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and expedite Trump's Washington, DC makeover, including the judicially blocked Triumphal Arch, while renewable energy companies praise its promise for wind and solar projects.
