Navigating Change: Federal Updates on Energy, Transportation & Water Policies

Fundamental changes are in the works for energy, transportation and water project development as federal agencies are implementing new policies and have begun updating their rules in response to President Trump’s numerous executive orders. On August 5, 2025, we hosted a webinar on the latest developments.

Our previous webinar on February 12, 2025, summarized President Trump’s initial executive orders affecting energy, transportation and water and responses to those orders within the federal agencies. This follow up webinar provided updates, including:

• How agencies are implementing the executive orders;
• Latest developments in changes to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures;
• Whether there has been progress toward streamlining federal approvals; and
• What the courts have had to say.
