Plenty of environmentalists all over the place. plenty of people not happy about it. None you will hear about because who would you hear it from? The 9 o'Clock news?(Brought to you by Ford and Chevron.) Even "grass roots" social media platforms; You subscribe to any local Texas groups on twitter/insta/whatever?
Texas is a single state with 4 times the land mass of the entire UK. Do the people Glasgow stop what they are doing, take vacation time and go to protest a new Tesco building over a historical site in London? Likewise people in Houston have little reason and large costs to fight something happening 500 miles away. Nor do they have anything to say about or vote to cast in (almost) any elections that would have (directly) altered policy in the area, which is again, 500 miles(800km) away.
- benj111 8y agoThe article doesn't contain the voices I would expect. I'm wondering whether that is an article bias, or just that those voices aren't present. I don't know the ideology of the newspaper, I don't know the local politics. Which is why I asked the question. No offense was intended.
