Team Trump: 'The Only Good Forest Is A Dead Forest'
The evil genius of the people Donald Trump brought into our government so America could become a polluter’s paradise is really something to behold.
The latest Team Trump move would turn our national forests into polluter playgrounds. Companies that want to mow down old-growth trees so they can get at pockets of oil, coal or uranium are about to get pretty much everything they’ve always dreamed about. And roadless areas are marked for new roads extending miles into wilderness areas.
The way it’s being done is, in a perverse sort of way, admirably clever.
They call their plan to re-interpret how the 1970 National Environmental Policy Act applies to our national forests “streamlining” to make government more efficient. Their abuse of language is working, too. Many of the more than 29,000 people and organizations that have filed comments on the proposal embrace the Trumpian language.
They call their plan to re-interpret how the 1970 National Environmental Policy Act applies to our national forests ‘streamlining’ to make government more efficient…it’s better described as ‘steamrolling.’
Few of the comments I reviewed pushed back on “streamlining.” The proposal is better described as “steamrolling” the National Environmental Policy Act, the first federal law to require consideration of Earth and its bounty in governmental decisions.
