Question about project 2025
Will they end environmental protections?
Answer
It is likely that the playbook would roll back environmental protections as part of its goal to prioritize industry over the health and well-being of the people. It calls for cutting programs that help working families like the American Rescue Plan (ARP) which resulted in the creation or retention of 220,000 jobs. It proposes expanding offshore oil and natural gas drilling, loosening the Clean Air Act's restrictions on greenhouse gasses and the regulations of businesses' pollution. "Project 2025" envisions a future where industry can exploit resources and pollute without government intervention to make sure that workers and the public are not at risk. It suggests an agenda that is harmful to so many people, and many experts believe that it could very well make things much worse. "Project 2025" would rollback many environmental regulations.
