WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-KY) and Energy and Power Subcommittee Vice Chairman Pete Olson (R-TX) today issued the following statement after the White House Council on Environmental Quality released final guidance related to environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
“Like clockwork, as our economy strives to recover, the administration serves up more regulatory directives that will create more economic uncertainty. Our economy needs a boost, not a blanket of increased red tape, costs, and more litigation," said Whitfield and Olson. “The administration has failed to take a pragmatic, economically realistic approach and instead remained focused on a misguided agenda regardless of the toll on America’s economic future."
