And, every time, the objections drive up costs and delay results.
- user-the-name 5y agoSo does not destroying the environment. Sometimes, we do not want to keep costs and delays down.
- shlant 5y agoand many people are realizing that the environment should be considered over costs and deadlines
- esyir 5y agoUntil the frivolous complaints get them an image of obstructionism and people start to ignore them. Boy who cried wolf, after all.
- shlant 5y agosure it's possible both the public and the government officials making the decisions might get alarm fatigue but from what we are seeing, more and more people are caring about environmental impact (even when it comes to electric cars) and think that we aren't doing enough to prevent it. The scrutiny of all major construction projects will probably only continue to increase as public perception continues to shift.
- CRConrad 5y ago> more and more people are caring about environmental impact 1) It's hard to avoid the suspicion that ever more of those people are only performatively "caring" about environmental impacts; and 2) I'm getting ever more certain that quite a lot of those people who "are caring" lack enough information to care about environmental impact in a sensible way. If you're ill-informed enough, you will naively advocate "solutions" that are worse for the environment than what you're protesting against.
- newsclues 5y agoAre we considering the environment when we delay the mass production of environmentally friendlier electric cars?
- shlant 5y agoI don't think it's fair to compare the specific, fairly measurable consequences of not fully considering how to "prevent highly poisonous gas from escaping from the factory" vs. the more vague and complex environmental impact of a delay in car production. But lets put that aside and let me ask you this: What amount of delay would you be ok with in addressing environmental concerns?
