Center For Biological Diversity: Defend bedrock environmental laws

On Nov 9, the current Congress will return to D.C. and try to push through as much bad policy as possible before the newly elected Congress takes office in January — starting with S. 5653, the so-called Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. This bill is stuffed with blatant environmental attacks, and if the Senate doesn't stop it now, the aftermath will be devastating. It would lock in President Trump's gutting of bedrock laws, and the ramifications could last for decades. For example, this bill would: Gut the Clean Water Act, Weaken the Endangered Species Act; Lock in decades of fossil fuel dependence instead of supporting clean energy; Fuel energy-hungry data centers by accelerating federal approval of new gas pipelines and infrastructure; Hand mining companies unprecedented rights to occupy and degrade public lands, while removing the people's right to oppose these projects.
