Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals. GET READY TO ROCK!!!

10% off the top?
 
Is Chinese money OK...Russian?? No rules! Funny thing is Trumpers will applaud "it" without knowing what "it" is.
 
Saudis are in for double already.
 
This is ridiculous!

The LAST thing we want is anyone to be investing in America. All that will happen is that we'll see more economic activity, more jobs and more tax revenue. If we keep that up then, eventually, people will be less dependent on the government and if government loses power to the people then who will all those government employees have left to "manage"?
 
He is democratizing externalized costs. No longer can Americans hide behind our border while we export pollution and environmental degradation. Trump will make us swim in the filth that enables our lifestyle.

Truly, a revolutionary.
 
Is President-elect Trump going to have Congress terminate NEPA? Sounds like it from his post.

Expediting approvals and permits is not the same as terminating NEPA.

Have you ever been involved with writing and preparing an Environmental Impact Statement or Environmental Analysis?
Further one needs to look at what land uses are approved in the Land Use Plans that went through public review. if a proposed use has not been addressed in the Land Use Plan, that plan would have to be modified even before the specific NEPA analysis could begin.

Congress would have to change some laws to pull off what Trump wants.
 
I don't think you understand the definition of "expedite". It doesn't mean to change rules and such. It means to speed up the process.

In other words, get the job done without wasting time...but the job still gets done.

You’re all over the Webster’s Dictionary, these days.

I understand more than you can imagine.
Question: DOGE wants to cut federal agencies and employees by 75%.
Who is going to do the "expedited" NEPA process?
Even a "expedited" NEPA review can take years.

Congress has not been able to get much done for decades. I highly doubt they can change the environmental laws they passed within the first year of Trump's second term.

I will take your non answer to my question of "Have you ever been involved with writing and preparing an Environmental Impact Statement or Environmental Analysis?"
is a big NO. I will go further to bet you have little understanding of the NEPA process and Land Use Planning process.
 
Biden has already screwed this plan sorry. Unemployment is so low that these investors won't be able to staff their operations. And with a big portion of the countries construction workers about to be deported, they won't be able to build any facilities either. Do you think Trump ever thinks this sh!t through before he goes out with his crazy announcements? The other point is that while the US has a XOS consumer base to leverage, the political scenario has become very unstable in a 3rd world type way. One thing foreign investors generally stay well away from are countries with unstable politics. For all they know, Trump could be just luring them to the US so he can control their assets and markets.
 
Not the point.

This is a solicitation for bribery.

The payoff being "able to ignore pesky OSHA and EPA regulations with absolute impunity."

Nothing new has to be built.

Perhaps, but if it is expedited, it'll still be quicker than normal.

Again, nobody has said anything about changing laws. Why are you raising your red herring?

Irrelevant, but I'm not surprised to see that you are trying to mount a personal attack upon me.

Bye.

ah the do more with less.
That will add a couple of years to the projects.

One would have to change some laws.
Are you aware of the requirements to publish in the Federal register and the amount of time for the public to respond?

Then you do not understand environmental laws and regulations. much like Trump does not.

It is relevant. If you had experience in writing EIS or EA's you would know certain laws will have to be changed.
Mycroft said:

as expected,.
When you lose the argument, you say Bye.
