No, I don't believe that to be the case. Broadly speaking, prescribed burns are thwarted by a mix of local objections to smoke, noise and traffic ... and environmental objections relating to specific watersheds, protected species and (literally) individual birds that are witnessed in the burn area And much of the later "environmental objections" are hijacked by the former Nimby forces, while the right wing uses this phony environmentalism to point the rural folks at the left instead of real estate and development interests that drive all this.
