Obama Policy: Control Greenhouse Gases At Home, Enable Export of Fossil Fuels

摘要

Even as President Barack Obama promises to implement aggressive regulatory measures to rein in climate change domestically, his administration has used the same regulatory authority to quietly position the U.S. to become a global leader in fossil fuel exports. Much of the policy is being carried out behind closed doors. At its nexus is the White House Council on Environmental Quality. The CEQ exercises oversight, in secret, over the ways that permitting agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Land Management implement the National Environmental Policy Act.
