Debt Ceiling Deal Imperils Environment, Critics Say
Summary by NewsWall May 29 23
- The deal to raise the US debt ceiling will have significant ramifications for the climate and nature. Environmentalists have warned that it will fast-track a controversial gas pipeline in West Virginia and limit the scope of environmental reviews for future developments.
- Environmentalists reacted in outrage at the deal, arguing that the 300-mile (480km) pipeline, which will bring fracked gas from West Virginia to southern Virginia, will endanger hundreds of waterways, threaten landscapes including the nearby Appalachian trail and worsen the climate crisis.
- Under the deal, reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act will be limited to just two years for federal projects.
- Environmental groups are calling for Democrats to block the debt deal when it is voted upon in Congress this week. They are already angered by Biden’s ongoing embrace of large fossil fuel projects, such as the recently approved Willow oil drilling operation in Alaska.

Quick Glance: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports
- A federal appeals court has overturned a ban on transgender individuals participating in sports in West Virginia, citing a violation of Title IX.
- The court ruled that the law cannot lawfully be applied to a 13-year-old girl who has identified as female since the third grade.
- The decision favored the American Civil Liberties Union, its West Virginia chapter, and the LGBTQ advocacy group Lambda Legal, who filed a lawsuit in 2021.
- West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.
