The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is amending its list of categories of projects which, because they typically do not have significant environmental impacts, qualify for the simplest form of environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The agency is simplifying the environmental review process for energy storage systems such as battery systems, transmission line upgrades and PV systems. Under the changes, DOE says it will continue to examine each proposed project while completing its environmental review responsibilities more expediently.
Changes include simplifying the review process for building, operating, upgrading or decommissioning battery or flywheel energy storage systems near areas that have already been developed. They also remove existing limitations on the length of existing powerlines that are eligible for the simplest form of NEPA review and increase the size of solar projects that qualify for the same.

Obviously, what MTG says here is good news, but really? Is she sincere, or did she realize that it was to her political advantage?
I’m highly suspicious. Until this reversal, she was known for her positions as a white supremacist, antisemite, QAnon conspiracy theorist (including Pizzagate), anti-vaxxer, and Putin supporter, and for aiding and supporting attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Now, out of nowhere, she’s a sane individual?
The lifecycle of someone like Tucker Carlson and the others mentioned at left:
a) They’re on Fox News or maybe they have their own podcast, spouting pro-Trump crap.
b) They see what they should have seen from the start, i.e., that Trump is criminally insane, and the say so publicly.
c) Trump calls them “low IQ.”
Doesn’t this garbage have a limited shelf-life? Are voters going to buy this indefinitely?
At left see we what it’s like when a formerly great country is being led be a moron.
Will “they better stop now!” lay this issue, the precursor to World War III, to rest?
