It is insane that 151 Democrats voted no on this. Tons of forest fires have happened because the NEPA review for the forest management plan to stop the fires took too long!!!

Forest management equals clear cutting? Because without scientific review that's what we'll have. Maybe a smarter option would be to, oh, I don't know increase the number of people able to do the review so it could be completed faster?

And just today Harris made some comment about America not being able to build things fast enough! This is a symptom, and it rests in the principles & policies more advanced by the left.

it's odd to believe both that 1) government can help and should be bigger and 2) government action is so inherently suspect as to need all this procedural review

i’d consider whether you know enough about the legislation to assume it would be helpful. a quick google search turns up reservations about it, specifically that it would facilitate clear-cutting in the name of fire reduction in place of actual management plans.

On the list of what stops forest health as related to wildfires, this is way far down. Far more important would be letting more fires burn and doing more prescribed fire.

I'm not against this but I think the real bottleneck for fire management projects is labor. I did this stuff back in the day but times have changed. USFS et al can't find a zillion seasonal GS-3s to do boring ass thinning work for bottom dollar even if permitting is easy.

Why is it insane? This is giving in to a Republican talking point. You don't give in even if the other side is right. That lets voters think there other side might be right about other stuff. Epistemic closure is mandatory

Smoky the bear taught us that only you can prevent forest fires. It's incumbent upon all of us as individuals to save the forest. I applaud the democrats for taking a less aggressive approach to "forest fixing".
