No Compromise: Rejecting the Energy Permitting Reform Act and Protecting Our Communities

GreenLatinos opposes the Energy Permitting Reform Act, claiming it acts as a "Trojan horse" that fast-tracks fossil fuel projects by stripping away public protections provided by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The organization emphasizes that such legislation perpetuates environmental injustice for Latino communities, citing specific examples of pollution in Houston and Los Angeles, and calls for a clean energy transition that ensures equity and community voice.

• The Energy Permitting Reform Act is characterized as a mechanism to fast-track fossil fuel projects by removing protections and silencing public input, using minor clean energy measures as a distraction.
• The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is identified as a critical tool for Latino communities to oppose projects that threaten their health and future.
