Environmental Groups Urge Congress to Reject 'Project Certainty' Provisions in Permitting Bill

More than 140 environmental groups are urging members of Congress to reject 'project certainty' provisions within the proposed Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. Critics argue that these provisions could severely limit federal agencies' ability to address climate change and pollution, potentially gutting environmental safeguards by prohibiting actions that 'interfere' with projects operating at 'full capacity.'
