Destructive Duo: NEPA and ESA

It has been referred to as the poster child for environmental change and deals with situations affecting local jobs and economies and rural customs and culture.  They look for ways to get a foot in our door.  The following link will explain the procedures being used and also touches more on ESA.
Karen Budd Falen does a great job explaining in this 2005 document. Pay special attention to the first few paragraphs and the final summary.
