The Trump Administration is making efforts to fast-track dozens of energy and infrastructure projects including oil and gas drilling, hazardous fuel pipelines, wind farms and highway projects in multiple states, according to the Associated Press.
The plans follow a June order from the Trump Administration which required the Interior Department and other agencies to scale back environmental reviews. Included on the list of projects to be expedited are oil and gas industry proposals such as the 5,000-well Converse gas field in Wyoming, the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas terminal in Oregon, and the Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline in Virginia.
