Presenter praises President Trump's push for faster environmental permitting
Summary
A presenter said federal permits under the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act are "water" and "air" permits and praised President Trump's insistence on speeding approvals, saying he asks why work wasn't done faster even after it is completed.
A presenter said federal permitting for new sites includes Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act clearances and praised President Trump's push to speed approvals.
The presenter identified the two primary regulatory categories as "a water permit" under the Clean Water Act and "an air permit" under the Clean Air Act, saying those are the permits needed "to get new sites built." The speaker added, "What President Trump's speed means as it comes to permitting is to get stuff done as quickly as possible."
The presenter framed the president's approach as an emphasis on speed. "And quite frankly, President Trump's response, whenever he hears how fast anything has gotten done, no matter how fast it gets done, he wants to know why it wasn't done faster, and we love that about him," the presenter said.
