HR1900, “The Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act” comes before the House Energy and Commerce Committee today. This bill would fast track approval for all interstate gas pipelines, requiring FERC to process applications within one year.
TERRIBLE, DANGEROUS BILL!
Citizens cannot POSSIBLY react fast enough to an obtuse FERC process as it is, now they want to cut the time for a pipeline review basically in half! bill text here:
