What Would a NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act) Rollback Mean for Americans?

Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Charlotte Hancock, Executive Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress.

They discuss the Trump administration's plans to roll back NEPA,  the National Environmental Policy Act , which has led to widespread concern in the environmental and civil rights spaces.  Originally enacted on January 1, 1970, NEPA has been law in the United States for over 50 years. The law was designed to promote the enhancement of the environment and established the President's Council on Environmental Quality.

To take a closer look at the proposed rollback and its potential consequences, they’re joined by Kerene Tayloe, the director of federal legislative affairs at WE ACT for Environmental Justice and Sally Hardin, Deputy Director, Energy and Environment War Room at Center for American Progress.
