the House Transportation committee hearing on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Concressman LaMalfa has been instrumental in reducing the regulatory burdens that make it harder to build American infrastructure by increasing energy production, increasing the production and processing of critical minerals, streamlining energy infrastructure and exports, permitting reform, and decreasing permitting wait times.
Two of Congressman LaMalfa’s amendments related to forestry were passed, they allow wildfire mitigation activities within 300 feet of a road on Federal lands to be carried out without regard to NEPA or ESA requirements, and the second expands the definition of "hazard trees" trees to within 50 feet of electrical lines, from 10 feet.

It's astounding how much information is available online about everything involved with the government, especially on You Tube.
Thank Mike for sending me this, as it supports my ideals of what govt should be doing, informing, improving bad laws, updating infrastructure, and reducing time it takes to get things done.
Two things I don't get. Who are the guys on the panel, and what does their ignorance prove? That CO2 is at 400 parts per million (yes, that's .04%) is pretty well known. LaMalfa seems to think that proves that it can't be causing a significant change in the climate.
ReplyDeleteI was getting that his intent was to prove a couple things, that the people he was questioning didn't know enough to be bringing a case to the transportation committee, about the CO2 reduction of electric cars, and how getting progress on useful improvements in transportation is hampered by whatever time wasting things those people were bothering the committee about.
DeleteWithout rewatching the video to analyze it more accurately, and wasting time trying to figure out who those people are to answer your question, that's what I can offer. But, that's what I think their ignorance proves.... they arrived uniformed, in the wrong, and are only hampering the process of someone trying to get something productive accomplished.
That they are ignorant of high school chemistry/atmospheric/planetary fundamentals - but on a crusade to change those elemental amounts, when doing so in ignorance, would be catastrophic.
I think he made that point, even though they weren't aware he was doing that. That too is ironic, if I'm right. They are not educated, and yet, are trying to change the world and if they succeed, we all die.
100 percent!
Deletethank you!
DeleteJesse, you are on the mark. I have said for years that the project to switch everything to electricity is an effort to ultimately control busy then shutting down the power supply of electricity at will. We are seeing a bright person with knowledge against uninformed lawmakers. Further is how when the case must be made for this preposterous switch to all electric, the emissions of cow flatus are also under attack! Thanks again for your acuity.
