Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which approves major energy infrastructure projects like pipelines and power plants, to consider greenhouse gas emissions and environmental justice impacts when deciding whether to approve these projects. It would give FERC the authority to deny or place conditions on projects that would significantly harm the climate or disproportionately affect low-income and minority communities. The change would make it harder for fossil fuel infrastructure projects to get approved without accounting for their environmental and social costs.
