Trump Pledges Fast-Track Permits for $1B US Investors

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to expedite permits and approvals, including environmental ones, for anyone investing $1 billion in the U.S. This proposal raises questions about eligibility and the process for bypassing regulatory hurdles. Trump's mention of quick environmental approvals highlights the role of Lee Zeldin, his pick to lead the EPA, who supports Trump's deregulatory agenda. This move could significantly impact investment strategies in climate tech under a potential second Trump administration.
