Sin compromisos: rechazando la Ley de Reforma de Permisos Energéticos y protegiendo a nuestras comunidades

GreenLatinos opposes the Energy Permitting Reform Act, describing it as a "Trojan horse" that accelerates fossil fuel projects while offering only symbolic clean energy measures. The organization argues that the act would weaken the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which serves as a critical tool for frontline Latino communities to fight environmental injustice and pollution.

• The Energy Permitting Reform Act is characterized as a "Trojan horse" because it prioritizes the acceleration of fossil fuel projects while using symbolic clean energy measures as a distraction from the resulting harm.
• The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is identified as the primary environmental protection tool used by Latino communities to defend against projects that threaten their health and future.
• The proposed Energy Permitting Reform Act would eliminate environmental protections and silence the voices of frontline communities, leading to disproportionate damage from fossil fuel projects.
