RULES & REGS
Policies for More Ecologically-Sound Tech
The Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA, S.1462) would fast-track large-scale logging, including in mature and old-growth forests, by gutting core environmental laws like NEPA and the Endangered Species Act. It would expand industry loopholes, block public oversight, and allow commercial logging under vague emergency declarations.
Several states have banned the Rights of Nature.
The Trump Administration EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers recently announced The Polluted Water Rule\. If enacted, it would let polluters dump in and destroy more waters all across the country than any time in the last fifty years.For more info, see The Clean Water for All Coalitions toolkit.
The FCC has introduced bills that would fast-track cell tower permits and end the local authority that remains over cell-site placement. To help to stop HR 2289, tell your Congressmember to vote against it.
And then come bills that support AI and data centers. In early November, The Trump Administration and big tech followed up with Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy. If enacted, this law would penalize U.S. states that pass (or have already passed) laws that limit AIby threatening litigation against the state and by withholding federal funds for broadband. On November 24, 2025, President Trump launched The Genesis Mission, a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI-accelerated innovation and discovery.
