President Trump signed a pair of executive orders intended to streamline energy infrastructure, according to the White House. The orders have to do mostly with liquified natural gas extraction projects and cross-border infrastructure permits.
“Inefficient energy infrastructure forces Americans to depend on energy that is more expensive and less reliable,” according to a White House press release.
Specifically, Trump directed the EPA to review and update the “outdated” guidance regarding certification under section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
