Add safeguards against using permitting reform to favor fossil fuels

Schiff says Congress should strengthen safeguards in permitting reform legislation to prevent administrations from using it to tilt the playing field toward fossil fuels. He also wants assurance that permitting changes will not be used to single out states or give advantages to oil and gas industries.

Context: He does not specify the text or design of the safeguards he wants.

In their own words

Congress should work on stronger guardrail provisions
