Biden's administration is being smart by finally acknowledging the nation's indigenous communities. They're a big reason why Democrats like him are able to win Arizona after all, he certainly owes them (actually, we all owe them!) and this is a great start.
If a GOP president wins in 2025, or 2029, they would just open back the permit. I know Kristi Noem would do that in a jiffy.
I think that's largely irrelevant. Because if you derail one of these projects for four or eight years, it's effectively dead. And that should be the Democratic environmental strategy going forward. Quickly reverse the policies of a GOP administration, leaving the investors on the hook. Pretend it never happened, and corporate America will have to proactively follow suit.
