What Does Project 2025 Mean for the Environment and Climate Change?

We Have Excerpted the Key Provisions

Project 2025 has received a good deal of media attention as a conservative vision for the future of the federal government.  The document is 900 pages long, so not surprisingly, few people have read it all.  A good portion of those 900 pages focus on energy, environment, and climate change, much of it designed to severely limit the roles of USEPA, Department of Interior, and even the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

The Center for Law, Energy & Environment (CLEE) at UC Berkeley has excerpted the key provisions related to energy, environment, and climate change, here.  I have added a few comments to the 41 pages of excerpts, which you should feel free to ignore.  It is, however, well worth looking through the excerpts themselves to get a sense of the fairly breathtaking nature and extent of the proposal.

In the coming weeks, CLEE plans to provide some legal analysis and commentary for specific aspects of the proposal and related efforts as well as a webinar discussion.

If you have suggestions for sub-topics, please let me know.
