Ideology

A belief question

When a new project such as housing, a road, a warehouse or a power line is proposed, which should come first?

Environmental review studies how a project would affect air, water, land and neighbors before it is approved. A court challenge lets people sue if they think the review did not follow the law.

The two sides

  • Studying its effects on air, water, land and neighbors fully before approval, and keeping the right to challenge it in court
  • Deciding sooner, with shorter reviews and tighter limits on lawsuits
