re: #44 Gus 802

Could be phased.

Guess what I’m saying is that we won’t do anything. I think we’re scared of everything. Nobody wants nuclear waste in their “backyard.” Solar is about the only real alternative. Wind is dependent on, well, wind. Then we have to get people to not complain about clearing large swaths of land for solar farming.

One thing we need to work on, first and foremost is a way of streamlining the approval process for building just about anything. Once something gets the green light from whatever committee or bureaucrat, that should be the end of it. No decades worth of NIMBY or Sierra club lawsuits. They get one chance to complain, at the beginning. If the thing gets approved, tough shitski to them. If all the correct steps were taken, and then it goes to a judge, it should be SOP for judges to dismiss them as frivilous lawsuits.

I see this in Southern California a lot. A company wants to build something and they bend over backwards to get it approved, then every NIMBY and BANANA pops out of the woodwork with a lawsuit.
