Attn: permitting nerds❗we worked with a team of legal experts to study the last decade of NEPA lawsuits filed in Circuit Courts. You’re either going to love or hate what we found. Here are the stats 🧵

"Fortunately, much of the data needed to populate a more comprehensive NEPA database does exist. Unfortunately, it’s stored in a complex network of incompatible software systems." @NikkiChiappa @scientistsorg fas.org/publication/bu…


Empirically, we know *very* little about NEPA. If you care about effective permitting reform, that should concern you. But don't fear! AI can help. Specifics in my latest for FAS ⬇️ fas.org/publication/bu…

I hate Halloween in DC. What do you mean you’re the ghost of Chevron deference?

This is (literally) crazy: Conspiracy theorists are exploiting NEPA to block wind energy projects. They claim the wind turbines cause cancer, diabetes, and ADHD. In one case, lawsuits delayed a 130 megawatt project by at least 3 years.

In this installment agency staff and judges spent years debunking the ✨unhinged✨ claim that wind turbines cause cancer ⬇️

I don’t know if the scientists that signed on didn’t actually read the letter or if they just didn’t bother to read the modeling that the letter criticizes. There are areas where reasonable people can have different opinions. But this letter is simply factually incorrect.

7/ There are good faith debates about permitting reform — we should have them. But it’s tough if you’re coming to the table with easily disproved claims like this.

1/ Some nonprofits are circulating a letter to Democratic offices arguing that the Manchin-Barrasso permitting bill would introduce a “dangerous new precedent” by expediting fossil fuel lawsuits above others.  The problem?  Their main claim is objectively wrong. 🧵

After years of frivolous environmental lawsuits, @ITCGrid finally energized Cardinal Hickory Creek last week enabling 160 RE projects to deliver power. This week… “my kids won’t be able to ride horses on the property” is a whole new one for me. We need permitting reform…
