Overlooking the NEPA review would not solve the purpose as one of the objectives of the bill is improving the state of environment. Therefore, the assessment agencies must complete the the procedure quickly and in an objective manner. They can hire more people and they could refer to EIA studies of similar projects done in the past to complete the procedure quickly but in an objective manner.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. To characterize this as right-wing tree hating is missing the point, I think.
