Trump Sets Aggressive Agenda

April 11, 2017/0 Comments/in news-2017 /by Betsy Bates

While it may be some time before there are any major changes in forest policy under President Trump, it is very clear that the new administration is taking a sharply different approach on issues than the previous one.

Already President Trump and his new EPA Administrator, Scott Pruitt, have begun the process of rolling back the Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule and the Clean Power Plan (CPP) program, both major environmental policy initiatives of the Obama administration that have a huge impact on forestry.

Trump has also tapped former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue to lead the Department of Agriculture. Perdue, a successful agribusiness man, will have oversight of the vast government agency that sets policy on issues ranging from agriculture, forestry, and natural resources to nutrition and rural development. He will also serve as the key liaison for the White House on the reauthorization of the Farm Bill by Congress in 2018.

Supreme Court Stays CPP

A surprise ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court has halted implementation of the Clean Power Plan (CPP), the Obama Administration’s policy to address climate change by promoting renewable energy and reducing U.S. dependence from fossil fuels, most notably coal.

Shortly after the Environmental Protection Agency began implementing CPP in 2015, opponents—primarily coal-using utilities and mining companies—filed suit in 26 states to reverse the rule.

The U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia will now consider the merits of the multiple challenges to CPP, with the stay remaining in place for the duration of the court’s proceedings and any subsequent action by the Supreme Court.
