The problem with the diet part is that a local municipality has the ability to make a decision that will affect the entire country. To me that is problematic and weird. The idea that you mention on charging them more and higher would indeeed be interesting be it not that the highest politicians aided in lobbying for a preference treatment that would save them quite a bit. The way it’s setup is that the population would eventually be paying for this addition for the net as big power consumers are extremely heavy subsidised up to the point that the heaviest users don’t pay any power taxes after a certain point.

If the prime minister is deliberately pushing it to the local level, I still don't see what the issue is. Also is the local municipality in charge of getting them electricity? If they're only in charge of allowing the construction then that's fine. > The idea that you mention on charging them more and higher would indeeed be interesting be it not that the highest politicians aided in lobbying for a preference treatment that would save them quite a bit.

So the actual problem is the high level government?

  Well it’s one man shoving this huge decision onto a local group that lacks the credentials and oversight to judge such a big effect. They’re in charge of deciding if this thing is allowe to be build there yes or no. It makes sense that the locals are able to voice that, but currently they’re almost the sole authority on the matter with the government being unable to step in. So that’s where to me the big problem is. Alsointeresting detail, the government said it was unable to act before the recent elections that showed the locals were actually widely against this idea and it was just the incumbent municipality that thought it’d be a good idea. Most of them are now without a job. After these results the government suddenly did find a way. I’m happy that it’s shot down but so find the whole going about super weird. Yes indeed in this situation the actual problem is the high level government causing this oddity. From now on, and also how it used to be before most responsibilities were delegated to the locals, the government itself will be in charge of these decisions.
